So at last the wheels are on Very Happy

However in order to fit them I bought:
Air Impact wrench £50
Breaker Bar £15
Torque Wrench £40
Copper grease £10
Center Caps £25

And then I thought, Censored it, it's cold and I keep putting this job off. So I ran it round to the local tyre depo where they fitted and balanced with stick on weights this morning for £27.

Wouldn't use my grease, not recommended by LR apparently, had a much bigger breaker bar (they said they weren't even that tight) didn't use any air tools they torqued back up to 140ib (as recommended by LR) and had it all done in 30mins.

Total cost for fitting therefore £142, still it looks pretty good, and drives great. The 19s are now in the garden , SWMBO will have something to say Whistle

For those who are interested I think it drives really well, in fact I actually prefer the slightly firmer feel to the previous 19s.

Thanks Saj Very Happy Geoff
