Pug 205 1.9 GTi wheels

[Anonymous]

I do likemy standard wheels, I put a set of 15" TSWs on and I did prefer the originals instead.

I would like the originals too but they are very hard to find here, and if found then very expensive when in good nick

I bought a set of used ones needing tyres for £25 4 new tyres and a clean later they look nice

Bump!

Also - best place to get rear discs and new pads all round...?

Now knowing how much you want to spend, have you seen these sets on ebay at the moment, one's in Crewe so not far down the road from you.

dj, give a local factors a shout matey, i got mine from there (discs and pads!) they may suprise you ! failing that gsf will have them!

Thanks Timmo, I will do so. My rear brakes appear to have stopped working entirely I think I need to flush the LHM. Robin also suggested bleeding rear brakes, from the rear bleed nipples. Does this sound reasonable?

And cheers for the options Mike to be honest what I'm after really is a set of peeled-laquer but straight ones as I want to finish them in white (like a rally whore). I really like the look of these in white on a red BX!

Yes and easy to do, just fit a hose over the rear bleed nipples, car in highest position, start the engine, let someone put a foot on the brakepaddle and bleed that sucker
be gentle with the nipple, they have a habit of rusting

Also it would be a good idea to clean the callipers because they have a habit getting dirty so the pads don't move anymore.

When done, put some weight in the trunk and drive like that for a while and the discs should be clean again. If this does not work then another problem should be the cause of your bad brakes at the rear.

Cheers

I would recommend fitting new bleed screws when you do this,
you will be very pleased you did, next time you bleed the system.

they're about 83p each from citroen and come in pairs with special stuff in the bag to stop them rusting while on the shelf (hence i bought in bulk!)

[djoptix]

Thanks guys. The discs are completely shot, will def need new ones.

Marx, I am always gentle with nipples.

Vanny, there is a gearbox on ebay, were you after one or am I imagining it?

[Vanny]

there is one on ebay but £40 for an unknown standard box is having a bit of a chuckle i think! Will source one for that money if i get really stuck, but im hoping one will turn up before then!
