Amazing what you get used to.

I can’t believe the difference between things before and after being fixed sometimes. I had to fit a new headlight for the mot as the adjuster had broken off and I couldn’t fix it. Got a new unit from rimmers. Coming home from this week at 10pm I can’t believe I never notice a problem. I’m guessing the adjuster slowly came off and the beam patter got lower gradually so I didn’t really notice.
Now I’ve got a perfectly straight line where the light cuts off, and a lot further ahead than before. What I really can’t believe is the difference between the new NS light and the old OS light. The new 1 is the same bulb taken out the old uni but seems a lot brighter now. I’m guessing the reflective material inside the light has deteriorated over the years so not as bright as it once was. When money allows I’ll be buying a new drivers side unit as well.

Ps. Excuse any mistakes, trying to type on my phone, with my poorly 2y/o sleeping on my arm

I felt the same when I had Debs Ztt 4 wheel tracked, I could feel it was a little out, just didn't feel how bad it was, mpg has gone up by about 4 since having it done too.

That’s something else I need to do, changed the OSR trailing arm last week so need to get it all tracked properly. Did you get it done on the Hunter system or just whatever the garage had?

i put up with my exhaust downpipe vibrating/touching the bulkhead at low revs for 3 years!

I'm so unbelievably happy I've sorted it now, cost fortune (to me lol) mind!

Can't begin to describe how different it is now
