This was in January when I had a blowout left rear - so not a breakdown as such :D

Recently spotted a front looked soft (light cars and firm sidewall tyres don't make it visibly obvious) which has been diagnosed as a leaking valve - now wondering if the the fitter of all 4 new tyres last year did a shoddy job? :blackeye

Thanks Campbell! The colour really pops. Just waiting on a new gearbox sensor which is causing a engine management light and a geo to be done at Craig’s.. hoping it’ll be done soon before the (hopefully) good weather arrives.. 🤞🙏
