Help
Just been on a spending spree on my trusty green Puma, having the cambelt done, the dampers (all 4), suspension mounts, bushes and bottom arms done along with new discs AGAIN (as per my Fiesta a set only lasts me 10k miles before warping/setting themselves on fire), brake overhaul and general service. We don't have an MOT system over here, once a car is registered that's it - away you go unless you import a car and it has to pass a "Manx test". Think Father Ted doing scrutineering.. So no official advisories but the mechanic has stated on the invoice that one of the front tyres is badly cracked between the tread grooves (i.e not on the sidewall). I wouldn't mind but said Dunlop tyre was fitted in May 2014! He switched it to the rear for now.
So my question to you learned folks is how can this be? There's plenty of evenly worn tread left and I'm hardly Colin McRae. Your advice would be greatly appreciated
/>Bought the car in November 2010 with 40.5k and FSH, now up to 71.1k. Now most of the oily bits have been sorted and the arches cured I've just a few bits to source: drivers side tail light cluster (cover only broken), passenger side mirror (anyone have a spare green one?), glovebox lid, door card clips and of course a parcel shelf. Trying to have it all ready for the drive from Heysham to Eastbourne at the end of next month.
