Slow pc
Guessing that you have Windows XP. Call up Command prompt from accessories; type chkdsk /f and press 'Enter'. In Accessories call up Disc Tools and click Disk Cleanup Try Defrag - get it to see if it's needed. Right click in bottom bar and call up Task Manager, click Processes and see what's running. Do you have AVG Anti-virus?

IF they are original tyres they need replacing. Any tyre older than 6 years needs binning.

225 or 245?
I should have said 18". Oops. This the set that I bought from AD in the FS section. Rears have 265.35 and have plenty of tread. (One wheel may be useless - very badly kerbed.) Fronts were supposed have 4/5mm tread but not true; one is about 3mm and the other illegal - canvas showing. I have a pair of 225.40.18 and a pair of 245.35.18 in stock. Either 225 on 219 rims or 245 on 219 rims (or get rid of both pairs and buy 235.40.18)

225 or 245?
Just acquired Momo Arrows 8.5" for front.... (10" for rear.) Existing 235.40 need changing. 225.40 or 245.35? Why? Thanx.

Water vanishing like no tomorrow?!?!?
You should not be losing water! Have you looked under the car while it's idling? Possibly a small leak when the system is pressured that does not show otherwise. If there is no sign of it leaking from rad, pipes or joints then it sounds like it could be leaking into the cylinder/s and so exiting via exhaust. Unreliable? don't think so.

No problem - it's a typical warning that is found on a lot of after-market stuff. Are you planning to go to a high bhp?

How low can you go?
You need to have polyurethane bushes. And Pillow Ball tension rods (aka Rose) Heard good things about after-market roll bars - thicker steel and solid section.

Are any 300's on eBay really any good?
Hadn't even bothered to put the front wheels on the right way round. I see that the winning bidder has a -1 feedback. Rich - I like that deep red and your wheels look good too. Used to live up the road from you at Long Itchington.

UK Rear Wheels vs J Spec - Why?
Iirc the rubber is different. In any case, if your tyres are over 6 years old then change them. Even if the tread looks ok. If you do not then you may well wish that you had. Worse, someone else may wish that you had.
