Does anyone have a recommendation for a tyre fitting service for centre locks in the Bath/Bristol areas, I have tried a few of the mainstream suppliers but have drawn a blank.
 
My local Centre, Exeter will fit tyres I supply for £48 inc VAT a corner. I use a local Porsche Indy who are less expensive.

I am sure Bristol Centre will do it but are Steve Bull near you? They may be able to do it.
 
It's the 600nm torque needed for the centre-lock wheel bolt that defeats most passenger car tyre depots. See if you can find one that also does HGV tyres and they should have the necessary kit.

I assume you still have the wheel socket that came with the car. If you have PCCB's, extra care is needed removing and replacing the wheels.

Alternatively, invest in a Sealey torque multiplier and lend it to your chosen tyre depot. This will enable them to use their existing equipment and you'll have it then for all future occasions . See also https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=804343

Thanks guys I could go to the OPC but was hoping to find an indy - looks as though there is a small gap in the market, I will probably have to buy the multiplier!
