  • The time has come 19 Apr 2024 (Forum)
    New (secondhand) family wagon will need to be able to carry 5 in comfort with luggage, it’ll need to cope with my mountain bike in the back plus hillwalking gear etc etc for adventures and it’ll need to be reliable, decent on fuel, ULEZ friendly and long lived - as I actually hate buying cars. Shortlist so far (before being tried for size) includes. Honda CRV 1.6 DTEC 2wd Mazda 6 2.0 Skyactiv Estate Mazda CX5 2.0 Skyactiv Audi A4 1.4 TSI Avant Audi Q3 1.4 TSi Sadly no Toyota’s permitted due to gaffers inability to get on with the seats in my old Avensis. I will try to pap her into a RAV4 or a newer Corolla estate however.

  • Honda CR-V - Different wheels on Honda CR-V 6 Nov 2022 (Forum)
    How much are woth my Alcar steel rims fitted with Continental ContiWinterContact TS 830P 205/60 R16 96H XL M+S with about 7mm thread on them ?

They have the same PCD, Offset, but wheel size is 16" not 17". Also the centre bore is different, so I would have to get 67.1 to 64.1 wheel hub rings.
