I am still working on my project Rover 75 I have just fitted a new Shannon tube and LHD headlamps Next thing is to replace the two front tyres as they do not match, I have two good used tyres but the local garage will not fit them for me, he says he cannot fit tyres unless he supplies them because he has to guarantee they are OK

I know someone who came up against the same thing. It's to do with their insurance. However, they managed to find a 'back street' sort of place to do it for them

Should I wear a Mac and scarf when searching the back streets?

Should I wear a Mac and scarf when searching the back streets? I'd say so. And a pair of specs you can lift up and down.................

Is a Shannon tube a euphemism for a pint of Guinness?

Must be an inter-departmental things then coz I've done this twice (Zaphira and the Tiguan) - once at a 'proper tyre fitters' with tyres I took in and once at a main dealership and deffo neither were 'back-street'.
Reckon there'll always be differences in tings.

PS: Just had an idea - maybe PandJ you should wear a skirt on next visit to garage?? Maybe that was the difference....

I've never requested this service but I suspect it's just their local garage being extra careful. However if a disclaimer was signed surely that would satisfy both parties?......
Note to self...wear skirt (leather, just above knee) when taking car for next CT...
