Wouldn't mind attending this to have the tracking checked on my V8.

Two problems, when the previous owner had it laser tracked the steering wheel wasn't set straight and the car has a bais to the left, doesn't pull to the left just seems to require more weight on the wheel to turn to the right.

I'll bring some biccies and cakes

Hopefully the weather might be a bit better in a couple of weeks.

Cheers
Jim

It Is quite difficult to get the steering wheel bang on straight when you are tracking. I know as i did my car and have the same situation as you. We can do nothing but try Jim! But i am afraid i will need to test drive it for myself

The tracking is done in doors where its nice and warm so dont worry. Bet its quite fun owning a rear wheel drive in this weather

Should be a good day for all

Still absolutely no need to remove bumper. (or to shout

) remove pump as we did before, remove rubber filter, leave hose pipe in neck of bottle and leave it running through

Cheers - I'll better make sure it's got a full tank then

if we need to do a bit of testing lol.

Luckilly weather's not been too bad in my neck of the woods, had a dusting of snow yesterday but nothing of note. Problem is at this time of the year it's awkward trying to keep it clean, monogram paint doesn't really look good in dirty lol.

See you on the 11th, looks like it could well be a good day.

Cheers
Jim
