  Private messages problem
Posted by: Chris Hawes - 11 Jul 2007, 17:52 - Forum: Forum Errors or Suggestions - Please Report Here - Replies (4)

I have now had two messages sent to my external email account (the first was a week or so ago) saying there is/are private messages waiting for me.

My mailbox is around 50-70% yet the two new messages are no where to be seen.

Any ideas of what the problem could be?

I have pasted the notification below:-

  Important information about old tyres
Posted by: Guinney1971 - 10 Jul 2007, 19:00 - Forum: 6 - Brakes / Wheels / Tyres - Replies (2)

Hi All,

I read this in the Rapier Club Mag yesterday, and thought, as some people may still have the original Goodyear NCT's (or other old tyres) on their D's that this information should be passed on:

Stop Press!
After a fatal accident, the FBHVC (Federation of Historic Vehicle Clubs) says check your tyres! And by that, it doesnt mean just checking the tyre pressures and making sure that there is enough tread, but making sure the sidewalls are in good condition and not unduly old.

Her Majesty's Coronor for Manchester has written to FBHVC with details of an accident that took place last year in which the driver of an H registered MG B lost his life when a rear tyre burst on the M56. Evidence shows that that the driver was a skilled mechanic and a careful and experienced driver who was not travelling particularly fast at the time. The car was described by police as being maintained in an excellent condition. The surviving passenger said that just before the accident, the driver had commented that a 'tyre wobble' had developed and he was going to 'drive through it'. The wobble went briefly, but then the tyre burst, causing the car to spin, clip a kerb and flip over.

Subsequent investigation showed that - although hardly used - the tyre was 25 years old. It was one of a set of as-new tyres and wheels purchased at an autojumble the previous year for use for show purposes - at the time of the incident, the car was on its way to a show at Oulton Park.

FBHVC included this note in its newsletter in December 2003:

"The Daily Telegraph recently carried a piece in the 'Honest John' column suggesting that tyre age was to become a testable item in the MoT test. We immediately contacted the Department for Transnsport and were advised that although most tyres already carry dates of manufacture in their side-walls, there are no plans to implement regulations to check such dates at the annual MoT test.

The British Rubber Manufacturers Association suggests that if a tyre is six years old and remains unused it should not be put into service. It also suggests that in ideal conditions, tyres may have a life expectancy of 10 years. Clearly, if DfT did decide to implement tyre date testing, there would be considerable implications for owners of older vehicles and we would certainly be making appropriate representations."

The moral of the story, is not to wait for the government to impose tyre testing on everyone, but to make sure your own tyres are in good condition, never use undated second hand tyres, and never try to drive through a 'tyre wobble'.


Regards,
