Bit of a funny day today.
Took W's Pluriel to the tyre place to see what was needed. We agreed, two new fronts, balance and the tracking done.
I walked to scroofix to pick up some bits, when I came back they told me they had taken the wheels off but couldn't do the full job as they couldn't balance em.
?????
Apparently Pluriels have no centre hole in the wheels and their balancing machines can no longer do them.
They rang around and the Blandford branch had some.
So I tootled off home got on tinternet to find their number, rang em up and yes they could do it all if I got there in narf an 'our.
So rushed off and just made it, lots of (swearing at slow drivers, road works, noo speed limits etc.).
It took them a flipping hour to do the job and then they pointed out a bit of funniness as regards the wear pattern on the front discs. The tracking was within specs but we all agreed there was wear on the inside edges, so they put them bang on zero.
So I got to talking to all sorts of peeps while waiting. That was nice.
Finally made it back home through pigging traffic 2 hours after I set off from home. Bang went the arternoon!
And 212 sovs.
@kevstar will know about these wheels.
Have to confess that although I maintain her car I had never noticed this!! Rather weird methinks Never having come across it before. Never had to take the rear hubs off. (Discs on rear.) This has got me wondering now how the handbrake works!!
Anyway, have a lovely evening!
It has been sunny and crisp today ere!
