Blimey , and I thought being sold pants wipers was bad ,
I would have a veritable fit on a stick .
My trucks also been back on the road for nearly a year now , and the only time its let me down was when it snapped a half shaft.
Whats the biggest thing youve put in the back ?
( kawasaki Z 650 , or a large three seeter sofa )
Keep on trucking

So that is nearly a year that I haven't seen you driving about even though we are only about 6 miles away!
As for stuff in the back, my old Pick up used to come in handy for moving the hay! [frame][/frame]

How cool is that , you definately win on volume , I put so much decking on once , which was hanging over the cab , The journey from A~B was pretty much flat but the last 100 yards was down hill and all of a sudden the sump started grinding .

Suzuki X7 (in bits) or a fridge freezer, did also have 2 wardrobes side by side Not tried my Z1000 yet

That pick up looks like a minature version, dwarfed by that huge haystack, the bloke loading also seems to dwarf the pick up

I put a 400/4 in the back of a 2cv ,and a kdx 200 in my mates mini van

Well I think I am going to have to eat my words now if this is yours![frame][/frame]
I won't say where I saw it, but it was at 7pm this evening

I the wheels are indeed 100mm pcd you MUST take them right back and DEMAND correct wheels. This is an incredibly dangerous situation.....

Most likely the Minor parts supplier was given the wrong parts by the manufacturer/stockist and are innocent in anything other than being in the supply chain.
This could happen to any supplier but this particular mistake is potentially lethal, and I would also have a fit.

Hopefully you get a satisfactory response from the supplier - if not, then please do put all details in writing to the club.

Picture in a better light and clean : )[frame][/frame]

I have emailed the supplier of the minilite wheels and will await there response

I hope you get a reasonable response from supplier now that they're informed.
In line with T&C's I had to remove their name from your post - I know it wasn't their "full name" but plenty of people on the forum could have guessed the missing letters.

Using 4 x 100 gives you options for wheels matching a LOT of Japanese & some Euro cars, so if you ever end up replacing them again you wont be short of choices.
More common on a Minor is Ford PCD (4 x 4.25" aka 4 x 108mm) partly due to using Ford front disk kits and partly from using escort rear axles. For those with Ford PCD, theres a lot of choice of wheels as there's a lot of Ford customisers, and Ford running gear on kit cars etc.. also the Ford PCD is common with many Peugeots.

I was due to return the wheels to the suppliers to measure and once the error of the incorrect wheels being supplied had been proven then for the wheels to be exchanged for the correct fitment

i think they should be named and shamed
what could have happened is anyone's quess...
if i were you i would take it further ...

same sort of thing happen to me with a tyre ...
needed one for mot on my front wheel on my harley
went to a well known place left bike
tyre fitted paid £130,,,then off to mot..

at mot it failed the front tyre was put on the wrong way.....
got it sorted and they gave a part refund and paid for retest

it's not slander or libel if it's the truth

it's not slander or libel if it's the truth

and if it's stated in the T&C's it's there for a good reason.

Referring back to my previous post - the supplier could easily be an innocent party that was miss-supplied by the distributor/manufacturer. Steve's first point of recourse is via his supplier, and as there now appears to be dialogue I hope this is/was resolved.

Steve has deleted his original comment so I can't see anything further to add.
