Went to a local tyre dealer I have used before and found out its now a Kwik Fit . Still got the 4 wheel alignment done so now the P/Side front is no longer permanently trying to turn left .

Found lots more things that need doing and only had it 24 hours !

Didn't do anything with the 75 but had the mini Cooper S mot'd. Passed and had covered an amazing 236 miles since last year when it had covered 300 since the year before making it 536 over the last two years. That's two cars done in two days with the coupe due at the end of the month.

Love the wording there Mark

Advisory Items

010 Car is very small and cute

011 Spotlamps fitted to front of car obscuring grille shinyness

012 Blue is not the new yellow

013 XW is best

Correct wording to use Brian, I never do my own cars even though odly there is no rule against it. I can however watch as I'm the QC Quick photo opportunity with its bigger, younger namesake after the MOT
