    Good morning Dave. Many thanks for your very knowledgeable and informative response to my tyre issue. My 80 is being re inspected tomorrow at a different itv station, an ACTUAL Spanish Qualified Mechanic is presenting it. Hopefully if there are defects he will verify the seriousness of what is...

    Thanks , I will check the rules tomorrow on usable age tyres, I read somewhere it was a recommendation only after 10 years. So maybe Dot age wasn't a problem. No bulges, cuts, good tread. No idea.

    I had never heard of a dot code till today. The inspector didn't say what was wrong with the 2 rear tyres. The dot code I have found is B 65 CF 41 46 15. I have looked on bfg website but I can't decode it.

    I am waiting for my local garage who knows someone in another test station to have time to take it there. I have been off the road for 2 weeks now, am considering buying 4 just for the test and change them back after. Would even consider 4 15 inch rims. Desperate for a solution.

    They are a law to themselves here. No details of what is wrong. She id 31vyears old and pretty sure they are trying to get old vehicles off the road. It passed ok last year. I need to find someone connected to reinspect maybe, buddy system, local mafia.

    Hi all, on my 80 that I bought last year, it came with BFG T/A 35X12.50R15LT 113Q tyres on all 15 inch rims. The Mot people here in Spain now claim they are no good. No defects, good tread, unknown fault. I cant see or identify their age of manufacture. Arseholes here in Spain. What more modern...

    Update to my high tick over problem. I decided to have my pump rebuilt by Bosch locally. Unfortunately I didn't find out what the fault was. She was put through the ITV (MOT) today and flew through, no problems with emissions at all. Unusual here on 30+ year old vehicle they are keen to get...

    Sell or break - prices dropping?

    Hi, if you are going to break 1 of the 80's I am interested in both rear arch flares and both mud flaps.

    Not really a shock, bad choice of words, just doesn't feel like a smooth transition from neutral to drive.

    True, just dont like the gbox absorbing the shock. Me probably being finicky. Lol

    Hi all after trying all the advice, it leads to an internal pump issue. In garage now for a full pump refurb, it's only done 260000 kms but I don't know apart from the obvious what's been done in the last 30 years, so will report back when I get the results of the refurb back.
