750 R16 were the original factory fitting on my Defender 110 Hard Top 2008. It just says 750 R16 on the sidewall.

I am looking to replace these and have found some 750/100 R16 and 750/80 R16

Thanks.

As mentioned in my original post the offset is +5mm. I cannot find it stamped anywhere on the wheel but have measured from the mounting plate to the back outer rim of the wheel and to the f ...

Delighted to find a page dedicated to wheels and tyres!.

I have been aware this is illegal but am surprised to read it is not an MOT issue?.

I have just read that the tread must not protrude but ...

I had my 2008 Puma 110 hard top insured with NFU last year. Premium £356. Renewal was £630 so I looked elsewhere and am now with LV. Just paid £307 with £20 cash back. £200 excess, protected & leg ...

Thanks Glyn,

I always assume unless it is stated in the product description and just says "stainless" it is the inferior a2/304. Having now read their description I agree their products a ...

Regarding the link to tastynuts.

Thanks but I am not sure it is nescessary to pay those sort of prices. It would be cheaper to buy a new vehicle!

I have just compared one product.

There are lots of different grades of stainless for many applications but as far as I can determine (google) there is no difference between tensile strength of 304 & 316. I am not aware what grade ...

All the usual are now rusty - door hinges, bumper, rear crossmember etc

All the advertised replacement stainless steel fastenings are A2 which I understand to be 304?

I am a big fan of 316 (A4). ...

It has always been my belief the dissimilar metals (cappings & body panels) must be kept apart with something. The problems with the panels touching are twofold. Vibration/movement quickly wears a ...

I am aware this job would be simple for many of you but this depends on circumstances.

I do not have a building to do the work in.

I am a little old feller working on my own.
