Really stuck on what wheels to get.
Any favourites?

Polished lip will be the first to go corroded...regular wheel maintenance reqd.

I don't clean cars. So I'm of the same opinion!

Didn't have to be... So many wheel products... spray on jetwash off... Unless you're doing show and shine

Wheel choice is immense lol...
My fave is Team Dynamics pro race 1.2...
Fantastic well priced wheel. 2 many spokes for cleaning though.

Wheels ordered. They didn't have gun metal annoyingly but oh well. Black will do. Less cleaning!
Any one got a spare gearbox? I think the thrust bearing has gone on input shaft.
Extremely noisy with clutch out, makes a clunking  noise when engaging the clutch. With the clutch depressed it's nice and quiet.
The output shaft has a bit of play when I grab it from underneath.

Needs to be 6 speed.
Ebay prices seem extortionate

It was hayward rotary but I don't think he's trading any more?! Website is down and I've been waiting for a text back about warranty on my engine which hasn't happened.
He did text saying he wasn't well and didn't go into any more detail, hopefully just a cold and nothing more serious

I spent many hours taking through 4x4 websites to right the right steel wheel... Still didn't make my mind up
