Hi Andy,
I’ve “pm’d”, but did you get sorted with some rims, or are you still looking? |

“Watching” as this is one that’s under active consideration for 2026.
I wondered (without checking timings or prices) about taking the Hirtshall to Bergen ferry and figuring out a rough ‘ci ... |

Ah! OK that makes sense. The ones I bought on here are 16x8 and I hadn't known they did others.

Those are interesting pics. Are they really 235s?
I thought the Staun was an 8" wheel and that a 235 would be too narrow, but they look OK. |

I didn’t know you guys got rust down there! 
My experience is 300Tdi, but in this instance I don’t think that matters much. This is a common enough problem. The servo flexes there, and even ... |

Just a little bit off topic but reading that suggestion about cleaning away mud it’s just occurred to me…..

I’ll suggest three things that might be an issue here.
The first, given the time of year, is condensation on the underside of the roof. If you’ve only the standard roof lining, then I think moi ... |
