Nardi wheel arrived back from Hethel Lotus today.
It cost £99 including vat, and took 7 weeks.

Just fitted the gaitors and nardi wheel.
Indicators don't knock off after I do a right turn but do when I turn left :?
It must be down to the lug positioning, but not sure how I could have got it wrong really??? :?
Any ideas?

Yeah I know. Crackers isn't it :?
Might put myself on the fruitcake list :shock:

The Discovery is off the road at the moment awaiting a replacement intercooler pipe.
So I figured now is a good time to spend £550 on insurance, mot and tax :?
That would have bought me a few months of taxis!

On a positive note, it makes you apreceiate the speed of these beasts when you've had a rest from them for a few months. Mind blowing! :twisted:
