Today didn't quite go to plan.
Took the two wheels to the wheel re-furbishers. Got them out the boot and the first comment, ''a nice buckle there you have''. I hadn't noticed one of the wheels had a pronounced buckle on the inside edge, but when it was pointed out , quite obvious. Lucky it was on one of the wheels to have new tyres fitted. Wheels now being straightened and powder coated - two week turnaround. They are stacked out with work and the workshop had a Maserati, Ferrari and Porsche in, so can understand they are busy.
Spent the day cleaning the rear window switches. I did the door switches some years ago, but left the rear ones as they were quite clean. However, they had become so sticky, they were as if a little kid had played with them after eating Candy Floss. Isopropyl soon sorted them and now squeaky clean.
Next carry on with the brakes service while the wheels are away.
