Update..
The Vredestein's are on.... done barely 10 miles or so at the mo, but first impressions are very good! They're very grippy

Also nice having fresh tyres which take the bumps better, this has changed my mind about raising the car again LOL... I can bare it again. Looking forward to wearing in the Vreds more in the coming weeks.
MOT passed also, flew through as usual
Think my MAF has died though, the car seems down on power and feels flat through the revs.. Seems like it's struggling.. Joy. Going to have a look at the weekend, I also have a MAF in the shed which I'm going to try though so see how that goes.
