Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Ya they should be the same. The only variation is car's with abs but you should be able to knock the ring off.

by the way the car has ABS

I won't be taking it off and measuring it etc, I just want to know if I should buy it today and give it to my mechanic to fit.
