Then the highest Pub :tongue: in England, The Tan Hill .

In the car park, is a permenent reminder of how bad things get in the winter.

After the 800 mile round trip, I thought the old Girl could do with a good scrub up, so off came the wheels, and out came the caliper cleaner, Not sure I have enough cleaner though, as their the size of lorry stoppers.

What's with the "rusty centre's" :shocked:

I think you'll find they all go like that with alloys - due to galvanic (dissimilar metal) corrosion. :nerd:
Look at each end of your driveshafts, and the CV joints will also be rusty. Regarding the rusty hub centres, if left unattended, the alloy wheels can actually become nigh-on seized to the hub, and require some serious "tickling" ( :wink: ) with a big dead-blow hammer. Whenever I get a new motor, I always remove the wheels, de-rust the hub centres, and apply a thin smear of nickel (not copper) anti-seize paste, and the rust never returns. :nerd:
