Id have been fooked. I haven't even checked in the back of my car to see if I have a jack!!  FFRR TD6 HSE
Adriatic Blue with Parchment leather.

hi guys,

i tried to go out and change a wheel today, i jacked up the car, undone all the nuts and....

the wheel wont come off !!! i even tapped the tyre with a crow bar to see if it would helps ! no joy at all, it looks like the last guy diddnt use any copper greese gutted.

any tips on getting it off, i have to do all 4...

boy oh boy

Rubber mallet? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

give the top of the wheel a good kick!!

make sure its no more than 1" from the floor incase it pops off!

the rr was sitting so high, there is so much travel in getting the actual tyre of the ground. i was a bit apprehensive in kicking it hard incase it knocked the jack or am i just being a woman lol

If it's really stuck, I would suggest dropping the car onto axle stands just in case!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I changed all 4 wheels recently and everyone was sticking. I found a swift kick on the bottom of the wheel/tyre from behind did the trick. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE

nice rims and tyres there fella

oh and FFRR looks shiny too

do you regret getting rid mark?

Cheers Kingpleb, looking back, it should have been mud not wax that was on the paintwork!


Scarey, it's weird, I do miss it but don't regret selling it if you know what I mean? I suppose when the snow comes I'll regret it, but I have the Escort in winter tyres so I'm curious to see where I can get in it, my last one was brilliant in the snow with summer tyres so hoping this one will be better. I'd have another FFRR though without any hesitation, a nice TDV8, but then there's the itch for a Cayenne Turbo, Q7 or a 50's Yank V8 Pickup (awaits abuse lol) 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

most yanks are nice [ ] especially the new ones you see on the latest US tv programs...

if your fullfat was your first one then i do know what you mean ..the one i have now is my first and in hindsight i wish i'd brought a petrol instead of a diesel.

I'll take a wage of 10yards in over a 1' of snow for the escort

Cayenne turbo you say... hmm you like the drink do ya lol

Like scarey i'd have loved to have found an SC LPG but am happy with the lazy nature of the TD6 and one day will move onto the TDv8 and get it remapped

i'd wager the vivaro gets further than the ford though lol

Honestly you'd be surprised, the last one was unstoppable, literally, up a huge hill near my mates house that even 4x4's were struggling to get up, I'll whack some videos up when it snows, they're a proper winter weapon  2006 Mercedes CLS

It's funny, there is a Porsche tuning garage at the end of the lane I work on, the big Cayenne turbos sound AMAZING but I was talking to the guy that does their maps aling with one of our consultants who has an X5 35d who both said they wouldn't get up the hill by our office when it freezes, but that the the FF or disco it.
