The consequences of having an episode behind the wheel would be catastrophic.and i have been advised to stop driving, until i have at least 3 months clear , of these giddy spells,
So with regret i'm going to have to let the rover go , Unforunatly i have been unable to complete the repairs, to pass an MOT, the outstanding work is the SRS, needs the seats out to change the connectors, as they keep on failing, and the headlight leveller bracket, really needs a more substantial method of securing it to the arm,, i used some steel strip, but it needs something heavier duty, it was all i had at the time, but i have since got some heavier section steel and made up a bracket that can either be welded, or riveted to the arm, and would be a permanent solution , the cars in good condition, 98,k on the clock, i will be putting it in the for sale section later today

Sounds like 'meniere's disease' something I have had for 30+ years.
In my case it is mild, though at the start it was quite worrying.
Laying under the car has caused an episode, as has bending down to pickup a dropped pencil .
