They have ordered a timing chain and a timing chain tensioner for my Mini. It has been booked in again for late August.

I got my car back last week. I seems to be running well so far. I has a new engine, flywheel and clutch. So I am driving nice and carefully.
I had a loan of a BMW 120i convertible while my car was being repaired.
The people at Morrisons were very helpful.

I'll have to check. I might be working. But my MINI almost seems like a different car.

I have had 2 on the back with a while. They seem more comfortable and do not seem to skip like the run on flat tyres.

I am very happy with the Toyo's on my S. Need to put two on the back when the cheapy ones have worn out to get the full improvement but they were excellent in Kenmare with the 'biblical' weather conditions we endured!! Lol

Are they Proxes T1R fellas? Need to replace all 4 of mine and am leaning towards these as I have read great reviews of them on other sites. How much per corner?
