    Heavy Steering - Tyre Advice - Possibly pump?

    Thank you so much for the advice! Will give that a go shortly and post back with how I get on! Even though they filled the level to the top earlier - I hadn’t checked it again since! Hoping it’s not the pump so will try these first and check tire pressures this evening! Great advice thank you...
