Ford galaxy wheels
Maybe a silly question but has anybody tried fitting the 16inch Galaxy wheel onto a bongo. I know they are 98 load rated but not sure about studs or offsets.

Re: Fact sheet Heater removal
Hi guys yep loads of orangy gunk thankfully the bushes were ok. I have taken the old resistor to work to see if they can solder it they said they could so will use the old one and keep the new one in the van as a spare as you suggest.
