well yea, kinda, but i wanted all orig parts, just couldnt find em...

the main thing is they dont fall down, so i see a little more than the road underneath me with em

Im going to have my carb restored or overhauled or whatever its called cos my consumption is about 10l per 100km... the thing is it costs 50 pounds to have it done which is alot having in mind my small budget, so i was wandering has anyone had this done, and is it worth the money, in other words, will it lover consumption?

Thanx, gordan

Just been to the carb shop, and the guy there told me that he couldnt fix it cos the choke pull lever is missing (thet little plastic broke and it fell off) but he told me that a Citreoen 1,4 or 1,3 BX (cant remember which) carb fits perfectly in, and he assured me that it would last longer than the car itself. Now i gotta find one of those, and have an idea where to get it

Guys, ive got a really straight foreward question for ya, will 165/65 r13 alloys fit my bis without any alterations, i found 5 of them for really cheap, but i dont want em if they dont fit...

Heres the wheel i might buy, gimme your opinion please, it looks kinda old to me...

Hi Gordan,

The biggest tyre you can fit without fowling the wheel arch is 165x55x13. i have just changed mine as the 165x60x13 scrape on the inner front wheel arch on full lock, but that has solved the problem

i would suspect these wheels are 5j you'd just need to change the tyres on those and they be fine, paint the centres polish the lip= winnah!

Sorry for being such a rookie, but what does "5j" mean? :roll:

stuey · « **Reply #71 on:** June 20, 2008, 07:01:00 PM »

5 inches wide... :wink:

5J is the width of your wheel, too wide and it won't fit, heres an alloy wheel guide
