Our local place (Forest of Dean Tyres, Whitecroft) are brilliant and know all about LRs & RRs suspensions. But granted, the Forest of Dean is a bit of a trek - that said at least 50% of the "new" locals seem to be from or work in Bristol since the bridge tolls got dropped.LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Another trek I'm afraid is Darren at Wheel alignment solutions in Southampton.
Sorted out my lowered VW T5.

Thanks for the recommendations guys! That's given me a few options so I'll post back with the results.
FYI - I wouldn't use Wiltshire Tyres in Melksham again. I've been to them a couple of times to get my alignment done and redone and it was a total fiasco... probably due to staff attrition.

Interesting. Sadly, the job is only as good as the person doing it and its harder for garages etc to get good people these days.
