DozeyDustman's Fleet update.

Amateurs. They should centre the steering wheel and lock it off before doing the tracking. Take the fucker back.

[dozeydustman]

They centred the rack and the wheel naturally returns off centre - always has done.

My TT Mk2 did that. Garage even showed me them locking it into place on the third attempt. Never did figure why. One of the reasons why I got rid as it irritated me.

[paulplom]

Very odd. I paid £50 to have it done on my last tranny and had to hint that they hadn't locked the wheel off. I haven't been back.

Knackered bush somewhere so although it tracks up right it moves out of line when driven?

[dozeydustman]

Or the wheel's been off in the past and put back on wonky

Today I finally got round to fitting the new battery to the Mini. Its radio is an odd one. It used to cut out with regularity; after I took the unit out the dash and removed 3 terribly fitted aftermarket iPod/MP3 players the cutting out went.

All of a sudden this weekend the cutting out came back. It’s only when the engine is running this happens.

I’ve got an aftermarket fitting kit on order so I can fit the decent stereo we had in the Toyota before it went to the breakers but I have read somewhere the Harman Kardon amps fail.

It’s becoming clear we’re going to need a practical vehicle again soon. We’re looking to move out of that there Chichester to somewhere not far from here - Bognor, Rustington, outskirts of Pompey are looking likely so we’ll need to go back to a car each. Bearing in mind I open the depot at 4:30am public transport for me is not viable!

I’ve been looking at a couple of estate cars near me, they need some work but are fairly priced. Might place a bid on the Saab I’ve seen on eBay. I miss my old one.

Meanwhile I still am struggling to get the Lexia knockoff running to do the jobs on the C2.

[dozeydustman]

Practical vehicle may be bought and collected Tuesday.

Just as I've spent £200 on tyres for the C2....

Use the tyres for necklacing wokey AS members
