Oh, and I ordered switchback DRL/indicators to swap out for my indicator bulbs too - completely on a whim. Need to figure out how they fit once they arrive!!!

Are they the e bay ones mate? Been looking at those myself. May take the plunge later if I get bored!
When I bought my van a few years back, it came with some sort of Audi alloy wheels- probably from an A4 or similar. I didn't really check the tyres as it had recently been MOTed and thought nothing of it.
However, some time later, I had what can only be described as an "instant flat" after going around a roundabout. So I inflated it again and went straight to a garage. They then informed me that the front two tyres were not extra load rated- so essentially car tyres, but the back were fine. So I got two new tyres (extra load rated) fitted on their recommendation and left it at that.
Roll forward to yesterday and I noticed a bald spot and wear around the edge so went back to get a new one. At this point the guy at the tyre place tells be that they are the wrong tyre and I should have larger van tyres. Essentially he says I have car tyres, though extra load rates. The size is 205/55ZR16 94W XL.
Begs the question as to why they didn't say the first time around! I know next to nothing about wheels and tyres and don't pretend to!
Explains why the wheels look so small in the arches!! [emoji23]
So seems I need to now buy 4 new larger tyres. Might as well get new wheels whilst I am there I think!
