    Gutted for you mate, least its fixed now though lol

    I have had to get the afternoon off tomorrow for my MOT as its the 3rd garage now and its to low to get over the bar on the ramp. So I think I will lift it at the garage and then put it back down when its done. Save messing with the trackin :P

    Can't see the pics as I haven't set up at the new gaff yet so browsing on my mobility phone. Going to look in work tomorrow :-)
    Had my cambelt done a month or so ago, feels so much better now and tappets aint pissing me off anymore.
    So have you had an MOT whiles you car has been lowered then? My car can get on the ramp but there is just a bar that needs to go underneath to lift up the wheels to test the suspension or something. The guy shown me and I have no other way roung but to lift it up? MOT ran out today so needs doing tomorrow deffinately
