Nope, I had to take the family pug 307 to get two new tyres and alignment set, could only fit one tyre and alloy (with a standard road tyre fitted) in the boot. Local garage whipped off the road tyre and fitted the Insa FOC as I was paying for the new Pug ones anyway. I might take the other three there as well probably not cost much as I'm going to try balance beads so they won't have to balance them, might even be FOC as I get all my car tyres and MOTs there.
On the 8th Day God made the LandRover -
On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.

Any form of dynamic balancing has its limitations, especially with varying speeds.

Bled the brakes today thinking I might have air in them but are fine. No fluid loss but pedal sometimes a bit spongy. Must be the caliper slider sticking so I must get on and refurb it this week.

Also started to treat some of the rust around the front in the engine bay.
