The front left wheel wobbliness had to be solved. It was because two of the stubs had the initial threads broken and thus the wheel nuts wouldn't fit adequately and the wheel was a bit loose.
Bought a tap and die set and, after almost 3 hours, fixed the two stubs. One of the nuts was garbage, the other was fixed with a tap. Good I had an extra nut around! In the end each stub lacks the 2 initial threads. But the four nuts now tighten properly and the issue is solved.
I'm in contact with a recovery truck company to get a confirmation of availability. I have to buy a fire extinguisher. And find a way to strap it to the car on the passenger's seat. I should try to bleed the brakes better. Will this be the 1st time the car sees daylight?
