V50 18" Wheel replacement

[v50t5sesport]

Found the root of the problem. Took one of the back wheels off and the shock absorber was covered in oil (obviously not working) - which explains the back end twitchiness. Due to the hard suspension you cant do the bounce test. It's odd as it was only MOT'd 2 months ago.

Bilsteins own website had some very good offers last week, 50% off a lot of their shocks so worth a look on there.

The backend seems twitchy from time to time, and nothing could be found at the MOT - Tyres ?

I found a guy out in East London who advertises part-worn tyres. Went over there because I had junk brands mixed with quality and lots of issues. he fixed me up with a pair of Continental winter tyres - part-worn, yes, ok: But only 5% worn! 80 quid the pair. I was staggered. Just driven to the alps and back on these and they were perfect!
