This is my first post so here goes.
I've got a 2010 new shape Doblo 1.6 diesel 5 seater which I bought in Oct 2011. I've had the usual problems - broken coil spring, knocking rear shocks - plus a failed window motor but am still pretty pleased with it, however...
Of course it came with a pump and a bottle of fizz instead of a spare wheel. I've only had 2 flats in the last 10 years or so but both of these were in the sidewall (on a different car) and I would have been stuck without the spare. I've laid out big money for a bare steel wheel having been unable to find a second hand one anywhere. Surely some one's stuffed one in a hedge by now.
I'm not going to buy the hanger to go under the floor but I do need a jack. Will any sort of jack with a slot for the sill do if it has enough lift?
I need 2 new tyres now and a couple more by the winter. The car is still running on the Goodyear Cargo Marathons it was sold with (done almost 30K miles). These are 195/60 R16C 99H van tyres. I've been looking on the web and the choice seems to be between Marathons again or Conti Van Contact 100s. Any recommendations?
