Nice.
Did you ever get to the bottom of the uneven tyre wear?

No, I didn't. The new tyres are wearing evenly. I ground back the knobbly bit (just in case) and added some very thin wheel spacers to the fronts.

Nice one mate. It’s a great feeling when they pass the MOT.
It feels like they are saying thank you for looking after them.
Soon after buying my 6. I found that they had cheap and nasty thin spacers to the front wheels.
Without the spacers the front wheels fouled the calipers.
I never found out why they had to have spacers.
Original calipers
Original alloys et 35.
Don’t have the problem now
Replaced alloys et29
Installed phaeton calipers.
