I am in need of a new set of tyres for my Land Rover Defener 110. It is clear it will be easier & cheaper to buy a complete set of wheels & tyres online than buy just the tyres locally.

In this case I will be choosing aftermarket wheels which the retailers are claiming to be suitable for my vehicle. I am aware Land Rover would recommend fitting the wheels they supply. How can I establish if these aftermarket products are approved and how do I persuade my insurers of this?

Thanks

Could just do with a bit of reassurance. Unaccustom to these things.

I have just sold a car to a trader who has offered to pay me by BACS transfer prior to collecting the car. I will be able to establish the money has been transferred into my bank account before letting the car go.

This is my concern

I am aware with cheques that once the value of the cheque shows in your bank account it is not necessarily there to stay. I understand a cheque takes several days to clear and although it shows as a balance on your account initially it can be removed later.

Please can anyone advise if this is the same with BACS.

Once it shows in your bank balance is it there to stay?

Thanks

Mike

No encouragement needed here to post. Have been recommended this site from a member of another forum.

The one thing I am always unclear about when joining a new forum is whether to just ask whatever I am needing an answer to or search endless threads & links where I might get my answer without posting. I suppose if we all used the latter method there would hardly be any posts.

For instance I have tried to cook onion bargee previously by deep frying it using raw onions and ended up with the bargees falling apart in the pan or tasting of raw flour. I recently found a recipe that uses fried onions and is then cooked in the oven. I found this method more satisfactory.

Anyway theres my introduction.
