Yes, Ford Europe.
They used quite a lot of 4 X 108 in the alloys but they also used a lot of 4 X 100 mainly in steels, they all had different offsets and centre bores and most used nuts on studs as opposed to wheel bolts.

Ford told me that the Fiesta I owned did not have a "in line " amp for the radio.
Ford told me thy had checked.
Be hold, it did.
Checked the spec on line, it was listed it did.
So just because Ford told you does not make it correct.

Prospect mill has been further damaged by fire and has mostly been demolished, now the owners have prime land in an affluent area without a pesky listed building on it, but maybe I'm cynical?

Not so cynical I think, seems to happen with monotonous regularity, old schools, pubs, redundant public buildings, chapels (at least in Wales), they all seem to fall victim to fires, then demolition and redevelopment.
Nobody ever seems to get caught though...............

Happens a lot round here too, developers buy listed buildings and a few months later they mysteriously catch fire and have to be demolished

Just for info as this mite be a bit of useless info that some body else needs to know some day.
After I got a vernier and measured the stud in the shop with it I got he bit needed which is 13mm as the sub before the knurl is 12.54mm, I got the drill bit and set off home
With all the excitement I set to drilling the hubs, ONLY TO BLOODY FIND the drill bit in the 13mm drill packet was as I use before hand and a 12mm.#
It can only happen to me again as always.
So Snoop, never trust somebody else`s measurements ( as you said ) and what it says on the tin.
I will take it back tomorrow and swap it, cant be boved now.

W,olly; If you are in Manchester, do you know Failsworth? particularly the old mills, we did the roofing on Tesco Failsworth and were told a few years before that the site would be cleared and sold to Tesco, so yes there are professionals setting fire to old buildings so they have to be demolished.
