Re: Wheels refurbished

I’ve had a few sets of wheels done by local mobile companies, ok but not perfect.

I had a set done at Lepsons in Kent and was very happy, not much more expensive than the mobile boys either.

Re: ABS lights - frustration!

I have a friend with a BMW X5 and he was having problems with ABS as described, his local mechanic said it was the alternator playing up, under and overcharging so he replaced it, ABS problem gone.

Good advice indeed. I thought the Zed gearbox was more or less bulletproof.

I’ve managed to source a spare auto gearbox for my Mustangs, also rebuilds cost around £900.

Price will always vary due to condition.
Yours has damage to the bonnet and looks to have damage to the front bumper and stone chips.
