Re: P2 wire wheels wanted

Hi Chris

Thanks for the reply, I would be interested in them, although would these not be the 18'' wheels rather than the 17'' wheels I have on mine ?
Can they be made to fit ?

Thanks

Re: Gerbox gremlin

Bingo !! That's exactly what is was, I took off the inspection plate and found the one of the selectors was out of the neutral position, one mirror, one screw driver and a torch and a lot of fiddling as things appeared backwards and I managed to line them up again, I am glad I asked for advice first...
