Is it worth paying to get tyres swapped between 2 cars? Any idea what it costs? Now we're getting rid of my trusty focus (which I'm not sure I want to TBH, it's been a great car, but we need bigger) it has a decent set of michelins on that would fit the leaf. Thing is that'd be paying for 8 wheels to be removed and refitted, does anyone even do this and any idea on cost? May be more cost effective to just get new ones for the leaf but even though the focus is still going great I'm not likely to get much for it so stealing the tyres is tempting!

Now got an i40 estate to go alongside the leaf, lovely car but compared to the focus not as fuel efficient by far.

I’m surprised your Focus has the same wheel size as the Leaf… the Leaf’s wheel diameter is pretty damn big.

Anyone know any kids that would want a load of children's books.... Late primary age, lots of Jacqueline Wilson, Cathy Cassidy, David Walliams.....in used (loved), but good condition, a mix of paperback & hardback (most hardback have their jackets missing)...

If no takers I'll donate to Tranquillity.....

Hmm, maybe I should check that, I relied on what the wife said!

Careful, I know from experience that the Asda tyre lookup doesn’t correctly identify a Leaf’s wheel size. It ordered the wrong wheels for me and then Stafford Tyres had to send them back and order the correct ones.

Broke my heart exchanging our old Faithfull viva , especially as I'd not long forked.out for a brand new battery and 2 new tyres for it.

( Still rather have old 9 yrs old Ruby than this new BMW, but hubby's impulse purchase! )

And how many brooks rise ?

Where was Copen Hall?

Tixall? Boxes?

Does anyone know where I can buy a Abaya and a Hijab locally please?

I did actually have my own when I went to Arabia frequently with work, but not having had a need for 15 years, I can’t find them.

If you are unable to source either locally. EBay has a selection?

Yes, thanks @Glam I have seen a few things on line which I could go to if necessary.

I just wanted to check if there was anywhere local where I could try the outfit on and see the quality, not that it matters too much as it’s only going to be worn a few times.

Mine is probably up in the loft somewhere.

When Stafford is getting 'real' fibre broadband? I'm in ST16, best we can do is openreach, but other places get synchronous where you get as fast upload as download. A few people have told me you can in Stafford but no companies I try have any plans for my area.
