Can anyone recommend a Cerbera / TVR friendly place somewhere near Harrow to have my wheels balanced? I've got a vibration through the car body over 80mph.

The Tyre shop.

Probably a bit out of your way, but they have the latest Hunter road force balancer:

They did my cars and they know how to balance wheels

However, the only thing I'd add is that they always try to upsell you a wheel alignment while your car is on the ramp – which I’d avoid – as I they have no Cerbera experience afaik.

Thanks Aide. That's really helpful. If nobody recommends one closer, I'll make the journey. By the way, I've got your app up and running (rs-ajp). Absolutely awesome. An amazing piece of work.

Thanks Roger, you could perhaps email str8six and ask for advice too. They're really helpful.
The app is a handy thing to have and so convenient.
I'm probably going to do an OBD version for the LE smile

I actually asked Str8Six to do the balancing, but they've got some problems with their usual fitter. They said Black Circles are usually a good bet, but I had a bad experience with them 6 months ago when I put new tyres on my M5, so your place is looking the favourite!

My Dads Cerbera lives in Harrow, for anything TVR I would always direct him to Bespoke in ware (in terms of closest TVR to him) however foe wheel balancing the lads at RBS in North Harrow are more than capable (they used to do my Range Rover stuff for me).

You also have Premier Auto design in Sudbury (Riz know it all about alloy wheels) and his fitters would hook you up no doubt.

Mechanical stuff however bespoke or Topcats Racing (Aylesbury) are your closest.

Thanks for the recommendation Aide. Went there today and they did a cracking job - vibration has gone and car is fantastic.
