jalesi2001 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Ok, another update!!Finally got round to changing my front outer CV boots today, that job went suprisingly well considering they can sometimes be a git to get the CV joint off the shaft, and back on again!! Big thanks to blacksport01 (Dave) for the help, even when i did hit his arm with my hammer as he was holding my hub out of the way!! Also went and got the tracking done again, third time lucky this time, i have already had bad experiences with Protyre and Ebley Tyres in Gloucester, both of which are useless and i strongly recommend if anyone needs wheel alignment in and around the Gloucester area, stay well clear, no better than a Kwikfit!! (which are the worst by far in my humble opinion!!)The steering wheel is (almost) bang on now, im very fussy and so if i want to be ultra critical, then its still very very slightly out, but i'll live with it!! I got the tracking done again for two reasons, one because the other times i have had it done they b****r it up, and secondly, i hit 2 massive potholes last week, which ended up popping my N/S/F tyre!! Since then i have noticed that when i accelorate, the car seemed to pull to the right....well i have now had a 4 wheel alignment done, so i know the suspension is all straight, but although it seems better, im still finding it pulling to the right a bit on hard acceleration. Any ideas folks? Possible steering rack b****red or something? Gearbox/diff problem?? Has anyone had this before??To be honest, as long as the tyres wear evenly i will live with it as its not that bad, and i am certainly not spending the money to put a rack in her!! Any ideas would be welcome guys!Right, still gotta fit the N/S/F wing, the rear compliance bushes, oh, and clean her for a change!! 1"£££$££" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalesi2001 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Forgot to mention, the place i got my tracking done was called Chris Mullins Tyres in Gloucester, highly recommended guys, cheap prices and you get free coffee and sweets....what more do you want?!! Its insurance and TAX time for me this month too so that will be it for a while, i'll probably be getting an induction kit next, maybe next month in time for the b'day meet!!

jalesi2001 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yeah, we are quite a young dealership, as the last Honda franchisee went into administration, and i lost my job.... We just had our first b'day this week, so we are getting there!!We dont even have a tyre machine yet, which is grim... should be changing soon though!! Tell me about it, i hate paying people to do things i can do myself!!As for insurance, im with Elephant at the mo, i can change for about £20 cheaper a year, not sure if i can be bothered with the hassle of changing companies for that so will probably stick with them for another year!! Lazy git i am....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalesi2001 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 It will be £340 if i stay with elephant, i can get it for £317 but thats from some company i have never heard of, so i'll probably stick with elephant. I got till Tuesday to decide!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
