Seems this is a good opportunity to thank all the members of LG (and PUK before that) for all the help and kindness shown by members over the years to keep her on the road. I can't list you all but I am very grateful to each and every one of you. Despite being a member of various forums I can say without fear of contradiction this one is the friendliest and the best by far.

whoop, mine passed its mot today, but fail on my part though, even though the tracking is spot on, i failed to noticed the front tyres had cord showing on the inside edge of both the fronts.

Aren't you a qualified MOT inspector?

What's caused that then?

I would like to know as well as mine are wearing in exactly the same place although still legal a lot less tread on the insides.

i thought it could be due to the double bottom ball joints throwing the caster angle compared to a standard vti.

paul, your only in bristol bud. pop down to chippenham and i can get your alignment checked for a tenner cash in hand to the fitter. they use the hunter alignment system. although if your car is lowered then the camber angle could be causing the inner wear.

youll get a print like this too.

just an example

I'm fairly certain my alignment is out.
It gets a little twitchy at high speed.

If it's twitchy at high speeds then that is more than likely the rear alignment.
