• Honda Jazz mk2 - Spare wheel 9 Aug 2023 (Forum)
  My recently bought Mk2 Jazz does not come with spare wheel (it was an option). I’d like to put a spare steely from an old car. It’s slightly different size. Jazz = 175/65/15. Spare wheel is 175/65/14. Will this cause any issues? Other than aesthetics. It’ll only be short term until the punctured tyre can be repaired/replaced?
• Mercedes AW169 2011 - Wheel alignment 17 Apr 2022 (Forum)
  Is it worthwhile to get 4 wheel alignment ?  Will it improve mpg ?  With a ten year old car could it damage anything involved with the wheels ? Sorry it's a stupid question but I don't know much about technical side.
• UK Stickers 8 Oct 2021 (Forum)
  This doesn't seem to have received much attention - in the 'old days' it perhaps would have been on the HJ news page. Apparently the UK government applied to the UN to change the 'national identification' letters from 'GB' to 'UK' and this applies now. It means that 'GB' identifiers on registration plates, stickers, etc., need to be changed to 'UK' if you take your car abroad - as from now.
