My search for new wheels continues. I must have visited every manufacturer's website, but it seems most dont giving full details of the wheel dimension. In particular, info about the stud pattern and also the wheel offset is few and far between. I've found a number of wheels that may fit and made the following comparison tool:
The Jordan R's can be supplied by ACT Products so will definitely fit the car with the correct offset.

Considering new wheels
Standard tyres becoming harder to find
Last year, i was looking to get new wheels for my car, but the cost of insurance put me off. I have since changed insurers and they are much more comfortable with modifications to wheels. The standard size tyres fitted currently are becoming increasing difficult to find in the exact size and speed rating. It therefore makes sense to change to large wheels with more available tyre sizes.

Fault code 68 gone
Error has not yet returned
After checking the base idle screw, reseting the ECU and allowing it to learn the correct trim value, it took the car for a long drive and filled up with some of Shell's finest. I checked the ECU for codes once home, but strangely, there were none. I'll have to see if over the next week or two the fault code returns.

Fault code 68 showing
Possible road speed sensor fault
Last weekend, the car stuttered and then cut out whilst on a dual carriage way, but strangely, the car restarted after about 30 seconds and has been fine since. It has displayed an intermittence splutter at between 2000 and 3000 rpm, so something must not be quite right.
I checked for fault codes this morning and found that number 68 is showing. This is defined as 'road speed sensor output too low at medium rpm and high airflow' and can indicate a possible sensor or wiring fault. The sensor sends a signal to both the ECU and the speedo - my speedo is working as normal however.
I plan to adjust the base idle screw, reset the ECU, and then leave the car to idle until the fans kick in, so that the ECU learns the correct trim value, and see how the car gets on over the next week or so. If the problem persists, it will be looked at during it's service which is due in the next month or so.
