No it's an independent, I wouldn't go to a chain tyre place any more.
Is it even possible to balance an oval shaped wheel?

I bounced around and tried loads from decent companies and cheaper ones when I started, I also tried any new juice and well regarded juice around. I've got loads in my vaping box now, loads of 3 or 5ml testers and most of those have only a vape or two out of them. I struggled like crazy to start with, but also found my tastes changed as I went on. I'm not sure if I expected to find an all day vape, but I did and found I liked the same companies range of similar liquids. Even after I found my ADV I carried on buying new juice hoping to better it, a new company would come out and I'd try the newest rave juice, these all ended up not being MY taste. I don't buy new stuff now, as I've found it's just not worth it for me. Over the last few months, I've really started to save money compared to smoking, buy my juice in bulk from the US and have my perfect mod/battery/charger and atty set up sorted. From now on it's clover, I just need to stop myself being drawn in by the juice reviews, lol.  |

Not bad womble, could have cost a lot more. Yeah I don't think it was over the top, would have been a Citroen part as well, I've been caught out with 3rd party parts recently in the past and tbh they can be so bad, I wouldn't fit them to my MIL's car (love her really lol) Best one was a headlight that couldn't be fitted without breaking it, I dread to think what some cars are running around with fitted to them. |

He's getting kick backs from those suppliers/manufacturers, I'd bet my arse on it.

Whatever works for you I reckon  You could have discovered something brilliant! I haven't mint choc chop and cuban cigar to try mixing them, but I would if I had. |

I thought I'd update with what the problem actually was.
The n/s wishbone needed replacing and............. get this, the front o/s wheel was an oval shape, the very wheel I had balanced at the tyre place at a cost of £5. I'm not amused, I hadn't even thought to check that wheel as they had ok'd it.
The tyre firm is a long way from where I live as well, so there is no point going back there to complain. It's really well regarded as well, supposed to be the best in Peterborough.
Total cost for wishbone/fitting, tracking and moving oval wheel to spare, £200 including vat. It's a local garage I trust, although I know they aren't always the cheapest. It's the only garage I've ever been to that gives an honest MOT.
They might get my tyres from now on as well.

Mmmm  They look like petrol and wee to me!  lol You know the secret to good juice!? Well hopefully it's not either of the two ingredients I mentioned The secret to good juice ....  it's ... probably buy from a decent mixer Or like cooking, have good ingredients and a good recipe.... Or, I don't know, never mixed anything myself, too scared I'm going to waste a whole load of money making rubbish  Fair play to Chris, wasn't trying to have a go  It's funny though I think, I think dark orange juices look the best, I wonder if the colour changes the way I taste them? |

I took my oldest to Manchester t'other week for a gig at the Academy, right in the middle of the Uni street (Oxford Road I think). There was a McDonald's 200metres up the road on the opposite side and a pub called The Oxford on the corner of the block McD was on. Whilst son & gf were queueing and in the gig I spent all my time either in mcD or the pub (mostly the pub - better coffee) vaping away quite happily with my book. No staff in either establishment challenged me once, so gotta be a good sign If you went into these sort of places and were challenged, what would you say and what can these people do about it ??? You can say I'm vaping with an electronic cigarette and is that not OK. But if they ask you to leave or not use it, there is no point arguing, at least I don't think so. |

I didn't realise ASH had basically come out in favour of ecigs as a harm reduction. I thought they were banging on about it being almost as bad.
Or am I thinking of another org?

Not wanting to pi** on any ones chips, but I would wait for a couple of reviews before diving in to get something new, been caught before by stuff that looks good, but turns out to be carp Then if the reviews are bad, you are not disappointed, but if they are good, then yippee! Agree, been there and done that. I'm not jumping at anything new these days. |

Sorry, what I mean is the whole wheel rotates forward and backwards when jacked up, it moves alot more than it should I think. I'm not sure tbh, I've never had much to do with front wheel drive cars.
I've had to book it into my local garage anyway, I just haven't got the time to go messing around with it if I may have problems and having read a bit about the right bits being a bit hit and miss, I'll let the garage and their twice daily delivery of spare sort it out.
Plus I'm working all day tomorrow, don't have any other transport today and need the car for definite on Friday!
Thanks for all your help, but this time I'm going to let the garage do it.
