£25 from a main national company is about right. we all know not to bother with these places. im suprised that you are suprised. that price for the A539's isnt too bad at all. is that for 10" or 12"?

Yup main dealers are always a con. Thats about the right price for the a539's, was going to get some myself from black circles for £63.50 w/double clubcard points, but looking at 10" now.

They are just dearer to insurer and use more fuel. I must admit though, i do miss having an auto sometimes. I've had two, both cruising cars and you just waft along effortlessly munching up the miles :)

and good for traffic cause you don't need to keep using a clutch and changing gears.

And the board exams? :)

Apologies for the late response, have had my head stuck in the books. Board exams for SAICA at least are integrated papers. So we write 4 papers 100 marks each. 2 papers per day over 2 consecutive days (Usually wednesday & Thursday). But the 100 marks could be a combination of any of the four subjects. Some papers have been know to have three of the 4 subjects in a single paper. But ja, I'll deal with that when I get there.

It because the seal is new and obviously at this point in its life harder to compress. You can move your B pillar catch slightly to take this into consideration. As the seal compresses with age you can then reposition the latch

I just slammed mine shut (but mine weren't overly tight)

Might be worth checking you have it pushed on correctly all the way round. I tried the door seal on my resto project and the door wouldn't shut. Turned out it wasn't fitted correctly at the front end of the door. It still needs a good slam but i'm sure it's just due to new rubbers that need settling in
