I think the only guaranteed solution would be to scrap the car.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

How difficult is it to get a stone out of a tyre? Am I missing something? :huh:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Lol :laugh:

You obviously don't need to go to the stupid lengths of scrapping the car (idiots), just remove the affected wheel, and the wheel on the opposite side, then fit tank tracks.

For f**ks sake does anyone have anything sensible to say?

A £1000 set of BBS Splits and new tyres is the only way forward for the man.

OMG  :grin: :grin: seriously after 6 months of annoyance you haven't rolled the car forward (while it was on the bottom) and stuck your key or something under it and levered it out??
