The alloy is caked in it which means they've probably known the alloy needs replaced.
Had this happen on a set of wheels in the past, only a year old (just out of warranty) they were those pesky diamond cut ones that always corrode. Local tyre shop took off the tyres, cleaned the beads on wheel and tyre and refitted using an orange gunge that cured black. They didn't cake it on, just the same as using tyre soap. They were fine for about 2 years and then started again. Tyres needed replacing so had the wheels blasted and properly painted (etch primer, primer, colour and lacquer) and they never gave trouble whilst I had the car (another 5 years)....

No it doesn't seem to change with revs and its still there if I'm coasting.
Aspiring DIY mechanic looking for some advice fixing my old mk1 ford ka 2008 on 60k miles for learning purposes.
Problem started when clutch pedal is pressed; a clunking noise comes from the bellhousing which goes away when in gear. I ignored this for about a week and when on the last journey the noise got much louder and it became hard to put it into gear. I then left the car for about 6 months and have now decided to fix it on the weekends.... Read more
We all remember what happened when Gerald Ratner criticised the quality of his jewellery . Well no such problem s when Musk commented of production difficulties with the Model 3

I may be old-fashioned, but if there are obvious faults with the bits that you can see (bad paint jobs and uneven panel gaps) I wouldn't be confident about the bits that you can't.

Then when you arrive at court, try to get there a little early and ask to see the prosecutor for your case. Show him you letter that confirms you were covered. This will give him the opportunity to check its authenticity if he feels the need. If you simply go into court when called the court may ask you to take the letter to the local police station for authentication.

Just wondering if anyone here would buy a damaged and repaired salvage car for 35% off the retail price?
Seller has before and after pics. looks like light damage and he's done the work himself and run the car for a couple of months. Read more
If it is only light damage, then probably ok . Anything with airbags deployed, water damage, stolen recovered probably not - too many problems potentially.
As mentioned selling it on can be a problem, the trade avoid them and private punters may be put off . If you are going to run it into the ground then fair enough - any insurance payout on a further claim will be low and may attract investigation....

Hi guys. I bought a Vauxhall Astra last year without any service history. I'm wanting to sell it on asI'ive bought a zafira. (more room to help get my jobs done)
The problem is I will struggle to sell it without service history. Can anyone suggest any way that I can find out which garages its been to?... Read more
Wouldn't bother me very much at that end of the market, because I wouldn't necessarily believe it anyway.
Given the OP's difficulties, it sounds like it wouldn't necessarily be all that quick or easy to check, and as a banger buyer you can't afford to stall for long. You either make an offer or you dont....

Dunno. The standard advice is “best-tyres-on-the-back”, but that’s not much of a guide for where to put mismatching tyres.
