Hi Nigel. Mine is doing the same, only noticed it in the darker evening
and more pronounced with the headlights on. Tomorrow I am going to check
the output voltage which I believe should be 14.1V. Mine has three wires

ISTR 60 is the sidewall height in percentage so 60/100 x 185 = 111mm, but I
don't know how much accuracy there is with these measurements.

Went out to the 2+2 and had a flat battery. Seemingly no ignition light on so
charged battery and tried again. Soon was flat again. Checked the light more
carefully and it was glowing slightly increasing in intensity if I put

Steve, will investigate. Was considering using it as a planter for my
petunias.
I noted that the pepperpot is a 6J rim and it has a 185/60 R13 tyre on, the
current fitted road wheels are 6J's with 165/70 R13 tyres. I am
I’ve got one of those as well, a seemingly unused XR2 pepperpot spare with the
knobbles still on the tyre.
Keep meaning to put it on Ebay.

Martin,
Before giving away the XR2 Pepperpot you might want to check if it is
worth anything to someone with an XR2. These cars are getting rare, so

right person.

Thank you everyone for your input, very helpful indeed. I like these
wheels, I can't imagine the car wearing anything else! I measured the
