Small world indeed, Marshall's Peugeot, (as it latterly was), was just about next door.

Hi dirtydirtydiesel!

Thanks for the feedback, still in 2 minds about what direction to go with the head unit etc!

I thought they were D8 wheels.. It's not unusual to get an odd spec on a car that was registered to Peugeot management Company Cars, I think they regularly raided the parts bins or swapped stuff over on cars going to dealers for sale! My favourite one was when at marshalls we bought a 2001 pre-registered 306 GTi-6 through the system, and when it turned up on the transporter it was a 1998 model (a proper pre colour coded job!). Suffice to say we sent it back!

So with the wheels, would my car have had corails on it? I ask because I would like the right wheels, I'm a bit OCD like that, and there are a set with decent tyres for grabs on the bay of E for £80!
