Also, check the idler, with it being that side.

Not convinced that tyre is legal, as you need to have visible tread iirc

Mother tunnies 3.0 Elite Estate had not had a run in a while, so took it for blast today (think plugs need changing as there appears to be occasional miss-fire)

But I noticed heavy wear on the outside edge of the nearside front tyre. Thinking camber is the problem here?

Offside drivers front appears fine, with minor inside edge wear. Mother T reports the one with outside wear does loose pressure (couple of PSI a week) but she is usually good at keeping it pumped up.

Tyre is near the end of its life anyway, but am I correct in thinking camber?

Trip to WIM might be needed i think?

Perhaps giving you the answer you want to hear?

Don't forget it has Elite suspension as well. It seems Elites are good at eating tyre edges ::)
As you say. This is a differant issue to yours. And giving the drivers and driving styles involved is perhaps not suprising.  ;D
