Thanks guys. Will look into getting some tyres. Think needed.
I spoke to some VW dealers and they will do a free 44 point visual check. I guess no harm in getting this done as free...
I'm NE London - Manor Park/Green Lanes (you can probably understand why security is a concern!! so any recommended garages/retailers nearby would always be welcome.
Right heading home shortly and hopefully my beautiful car will be there... Nx
