Hi Scott – sorry to hear about your tyre woes - that’s really unlucky

Looks like you’ve got all the info you need now, but for a local option for fitting in future - Hectyre has good rep with local members - for their experience, and care and attention - they were excellent over 2 visits for me when swapping over my rears, then fronts. They were happy to fit tyres which I sourced elsewhere.

Cheers, Ally.

Late to the party (as ever) but I'd also recommend Hectyre.

It's a strange place and looks like somewhere you'd pass by but Callum is really great and you often see really expensive cars and also left-field cars with really expensive alloys, queuing up for him. I'd not think to go elsewhere and I'd have also thought they could source anything you could need.

I have had a Halfords trolley jack for nearly as long as I’ve had Lotuses. In fact it’s outlived 2 of them

Nice and low to get under the sill (well most unless you’ve slammed it)

Tyre compressor + puncture tails kit a good call

Thanks Jim / Campbell, all super useful info

Another local vote for Hectyre

As Jim says Callum is always helpful and takes care.

I use them for all our cars plus they have a online price tool which usually shows them to be very reasonable, and you can then book a fitting slot

thanks Ross

Got to say, Ronnie is a top bloke. Really knows his stuff and really helped me out. In addition he is going to do a puncture repair and drop of the old tyre next time he is passing. Also seems to be able to get stock from all over the place. The skirts on the cup make jacking up a completely flat tyre really difficult, had to inflate the rear get the low profile jack under the car. Thankfully a slow puncture. I have learned a few things from the lad for sure !

Top tip. For extra low car just roll a wheel onto a wood block or thick stone to enable the jack to roll under

Did this for my S1 for years
