No its not, its a KS, which is Northampton
Its the first 2 letters which are the location of first registration on the newer style number plates, the last 3 letters are just random.

tracking is a waste of money on Omegas. A full geometry check is required.

Depends on your local place.

OOF have an agreement with WIM at their head office only (Chesham) for a special rate which I'd need to look up. Something like £60+VAT?

That saves me looking it up :y

That price is only for Chesham, their franchises cannot do it for that price

On this note, are their franchises as good as Chesham?  Cardiff is the most local to me, so there is where I'd like to take mine (I definitely need geo setup done).  Anyone have experience?  Can they contact Tony? for advice?

I would say, if you're going to pay £112 or whatever it is to get it done by a WIM affiliate,
It makes it worthwhile to drive to Chesham to get it done when they only charge £72......

that way you know it gets done properly too.

I didn't realise the price difference was as substantial, so yes, definitely worth the trip along the M4.

Just dont want to get there and WIM tell me my Wishbones are shagged  ;D

If theres any doubt, I'd change them personally. Then visit Wim.

But I'm sure any slop, tears or rips In the bushes will be evident after a quick jack up.  :)
