Re: Yet another recall, seriously!

At least they are getting the problems sorted free of chanrge and giving nice courtesy cars out. Must be costing them a hell of a lot of money and im sur...

Re: Four wheel alignment

I need mine doing as Iv got uneven tyre wear. Do I need the new tyres on before i get it done so that eveything is level with the tyre surface or can I get it sorted now with the tyre quite a few mil down on one side to the other? Not sure how the machine works and if it would matter
