A number of people have tried to convince me that it is something like "Wren-strie"

[rml2345]

AFAIK it is "Wren-strie" but folk from that kneck of the horse are a law unto themselves.

Also, would recommend selling anything to @Fumbler

112%/10 WUD EXCHANGE CASH FOR CAR AGEN.

That is generally the idea with planes. If they deposit you anywhere other than an airport I’d suggest something has gone rather  wrong. 
 

Good luck today! 

Obviously never flown with Ryanair

The beast is home.

Bearing very grumpy now, but it held in there!

Green 854s for all. 

4 stud or 5 stud? They do like to nom front wheel bearings more than any other car I've had.

Nice 850!

I hope you love it!

[Lacquer Peel]

If 5 stud I just fitted one of these to my 850, good value, comes with all the nuts and bolts you need. If DIYing get lots of penetrating fluid and heat on the bolts that attach the bearing to the hub as they can be an arse

I shall pop a cover or two tomorrow. Being a 1993 car I'm fairly sure they're 4-stud wheels. They've had new discs recently so I wonder if @rml2345 can shed any light on the situation?

[Lacquer Peel]

They do look like the style of wheel that was fitted to 4 stud cars. Same applies with heat and penetrating fluid to the external torx bastard bolts. 

[Ghosty]

Nice job- looking forward to you putting this right  

[Fumbler]

Been confirmed they're 5 stud wheels. That helps a lot.

I didn't think 4 stud 850s existed.

They did- I saw a 1992 one for sale with 4-stud wheels. According to the ad they only lasted til '93.

[rml2345]

That's a 5 stud car, I think they came in with the face-lift for the 1994 model year. It actually hit the road on my sixth birthday.

From launch in June 1991 for the 92MY until the face-lift for the 94MY, 850s were all four stud. 

[Lacquer Peel]

I gave @Supernautnightmares by showing him a very early 850. Pray for Supernaut.

Nice car! My friend used to borrow his dad's 850 and take us out in it. I remember it was a petrol, 2.5 20v n/a I think.
