No. They won't fit under Ats Cups. 256mm will but your chances of finding the carriers are slim.

You will need Audi 80 carriers (74mm spacing) & Golf Mk2 calipers.

Good luck.

Re: Side repeaters,do i need them ?

you are going to fail the mot.

Not strictly true. I know it's a requirement for post April 86 cars but it's down to how lenient your tester is. I know a few lads with smoothed cars and they have no problems.

Any progress?

My buzzer still goes off when warmed up. Also noticed that the idle becomes erratic when warm too.
I can live with it but I'd like a solution.

Raising the bar? This is just standard. I'd hate to see you really make an effort. Respect to the rocco addict!

Lowered with tidy wheels is how all roccos should roll. IMO.

Re: HELP! Buzzing from dashboard and oil light flashing

I currently suffer from this. That's because I ran the car down to London last week and didn't check my oil level. Buzzer went off on the motorway miles away from services, so I had to wait until the next one. Put a litre in. Carried on. Buzzer went off again. Stopped at next services. Put another ...

Cup holders..?

If there's one thing that grinds my gears about old cars it's the lack of cup holder/s.

I've seen the plastic ones on egay that clip onto the air vent.
Anyone here got one in their rocco?

Re: Reccomend me some tyres

For the price Toyo tyres are good value. I've been using them for a few years now. To me they seem to strike a good balance of grip and durability.

In that size they're about £30 a corner.
