See, wim really should remove the tre's and free them off as part of their service. But they don't. As a result I've had numerous trips to them and returned with a pissed stearing wheel, due to incorrect rear thrust angle.

I know Micheldever do. ;) (or they did last time I was there, might be worth a call to them for Tigger, as they are nearer)

There's a place in Bristol that some members have used and I spoke to him ages ago to enquire about prices and without prompting he said depends on what needs doing and often the rear track rods are seized on Omegas, so we'd need to free them up first.  So might go there as he sounded like he knew what he was talking about and I'm often in the Brizzle area.  :y

Um I've forgotten.  :-[  I'll have a look and see if I can find it and will post it up.  I think they were a WIM affliate.  :y

I think I used them 20 years ago and were pretty reasonable for tyres. :y

They are a massive wholesaler and command bulk buy prices nobody else seems to be able to match. I use them as a result. It's often worth the trip. Especially if they can set the car up as well.

Btw set up costs are per adjustment. So if everything needs doing they can be more expensive, but if say just the toe needs doing, they are much cheaper.
