Is it that you fix your Z and then find even more wrong? LOL

Finished fitting my brakes and just need them bleeding tomorrow.

Put my rear wheel back on and noticed a screw through an almost new 295 tyre! :rolleyes: :cry:

Tyre hasn't moved in a year so it's been there ages and hasn't gone down.

I started to unscrew it hoping it might be a small one but noooo it started to hiss and the thing is about 2 inches long.

God knows how it got stuck in there.

It never ends!

i had a screw in each tyre once i just left them in there :D went ok lol

I'd be tempted myself but I haven't got a spare in the boot so can't risk it going down next time I'm 100 miles from home LOL

Screwed it back in and it's stayed up :D

Yeah but how does a 2" long screw get straight in through a tyre it's not like it was standing on end in the road LOL

Screw it back in! :rofl:

 

I have LOL

Will take it tomorrow and see if they can fix it.

Fingers crossed!

will get picked up on the road then once the wheel rotates it gets pushed all the way in.

i did one for a customer that had a whole screwdriver in it :rolleyes:

If it's not leaking leave it in :D it will be ok untill the head wears off ;)

Chris mine never ever goes wrong and thats the honest truth:confused:

Was talking to the guys at the tyre shop today and they said they've had screwdrivers, allen keys, tent pegs and even a wheel brace before :shock: LOL

 

They said it's always in the back tyres because they get kicked up by the fronts and as the rear rotates onto it they get hammered straight in.

Mine is always wear and tear from getting a good thrashing but I seem to just kill tyres, brakes, gearboxes and clutches in no time.

Drove the car the other day and the box is whining so loud it's going to go very soon.

Need to keep an eye out for a good used box or get a stronger gear kit ordered.

Have you had any ideas with your box Iain?

Chris I am having my gearbox upgraded and its going to be a very good price too I will give you a call next week with all the details:dance:

Well I took the wheel off again to take it to see if they could repair it.

As I had a bit of wear on the inside edges I decided to take both the rears and get them swapped over side to side.

Got there and handed the wheels over.

I thought you said it was a screw he says, as he spots a nail and pulls it out the tyre.

4 inches long! And in the other wheel so good job I took both down!

Lucky thing is the guy in the shop had already booked it in as one puncture repair so I got both repaired and fitted for £15 :D

Bargain although when I got home and looked at the wheel he's put LOADS of balancing weights on it.

Never seen anything like it will take a pic tomorrow and see what you all think.

Sounds good!

Mine sounds like something off a rally car at the moment LOL

yeah with a punctured tyre the balancing is well out as the material used adds unbalanced weight so more weight is needed to counter balance it. I once had two punctures in one tyre and loads of balance weights lol
