Know anyone who will fit self-supplied tyres without fecking the alloys?

Cheers

Only place I've used for the Elise is MTS opposite B&Q. Can't really recommend them though cos they used an air gun to take the bolts off and scratched a wheel

I have used Motorway in StAndrews near to Morrisons on the road towards crail, no frills option and they did as requested, just remind them of the wheel nut torques (ie 80-85Nm) and tyre pressures you want or you get standard 120Nm and 32 PSI!

I have also heared that the Budget place is quite good right next door to Morrisons opposite the petrol station, they are open sundays too.

They might be S1 wheel nut torques but not S2!!!
S2 is 77lb ft or 105Nm

Not a lot is it when you "do it with a wrench"... (cue the smutty comments)

I use Fife Auto Centre in Glenrothes. They have always been very good with me and the "boss" is an enthusiast. They are just a few doors down from Falkland Peformance Centre. There are a few of the guys who work there are ex-competition drivers. One of them raced imps at fintry and crimmond... Turns out he knows a few of the racers I knew years ago.. small world. The younger lad that looks like plug out of the beeno is the one to speak to. He even cleaned the wheels for me last time I put a set in.

They dont take offence when you ask them to be careful as they all like nice cars. I have been working on the boss man to get a "group discount" but he says the prices are that good already he would be struggling to give us one. Compared to Kwik Fit they are much much cheaper for Toyo's

Like the man said above, remind them of the torque settings.. and show them again where the jack has to go, there only human after all.
