Most of my cars in the past (nothing amiss with them) have shown some distortion when jacked up at a corner. My Granadas I seem to remember would feel different when in the air, trying to open and close a door. My 75 is the only car I have had which shows not even the slightest twist or distortion when jacked up at a corner. It says a lot for the rigidity of the 75's body shell, but we all knew that anyway.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
