Default Happiness......

I just have write to say I am a happy man. I have just had the geometry done by Chris Franklin, during which he found the front out of alignment causing some uneven tyre wear. He then took it around his test track (about 6 laps of the nearest roundabout) at a speed I would not dare to. I know I've got a lot to learn......

The other good news is no siezed bolts (not even slightly) on a Sept. 2002 reg. which, given the many threads about the subject, is a great relief and now presents an opportunity for preventative maintenance.

Well worth the visit to see what can be done.

Trev.

Great news, what mileage has your car done ?

34000, the last 7,000 mostly in long(ish) trips since I bought it in April 2006. Before then it was mainly a daily drive by the previous owner.

would that be after Chris took his hands off the wheel to prove it was stable at 120, and then put your nose on the windscreen to show it braked in a straight line. I presume he hit the roundabout at about 60? I didn't know my car could do that
