    oh thats bad Matt !! I do have psychic (some say psycho ) powers !!  I hope for the folk that want to store these for long term that they have a nice greasy protection coat and are nicely wrapped in that anti corrosion rust inhibitor sort of brown paper? But knowing Ford lately they are bare steel bunged in a box with no protection?



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    @71-bda

    That is exactly how they have been packaged and delivered. No protection against rust at all.

    Really Coast? thats bad, so anyone storing them, don’t put them out in a garage or shed that can get a bit of moisture, and don’t put them in plastic bags or they will sweat ! I’d look at some sort of light spray wax coating and /or that brown treated paper stuff ! (and keep upstairs in the spare bedroom !)

    Pauly Paul, agreed, when you open the box , you just think 2 of these for £55, can’t be true. But to fair to rates -they are honouring there mistake. Keep the bargain updates coming everyone 👍

    I would bet that the disc’s are only £20 to them each as retail usually work on a 75% mark up as being ideal. So when they half price stuff they are still doubling their outlay. But very good deal at £55.

    A big ✔️ to eBay , you either get a fob off from these sellers or no reply at all 👍👍👍
