ok thanks. I will try and do it before i get there though. See you saturday.

all booked in for saturday at 2pm. Checked my steering idler. It needs replacing. Have ordered one and will try and get it replaced as soon as it comes. If i dont manage to get it replaced would you be able to do it if i bring it with me? And how much roughly would you charge if you can. Hopefully i will get it done. Cheers

That's good then. Will book in for next Saturday during the week.

Will it make any difference if I have 235/40/18 tires on the front and 245/40/18 on the rear?

Ok i make sure i book then before i come. Thanks

Ok. The lower arms were changed in may last year. I had lemforder ones put on and are still under warranty so should be ok. I also had the rear bushes changed on the sub frame mounting. I will check the idler arm over the weekend. Do i need to ring and book an appointment or just turn up. Thanks

Well its going to be money well spent. So looks like i will be coming down to see you guys. The last time i had it done it cost me £80 and that was money down the drain. The car has been lowered aswell so thats probably going to make some difference to the settings i would have thought. I will get some part worn tires put on this weekend, then make the trip down the following weekend. Once all sorted i will then get new tires fitted. Would i need to call you to book it in or just turn up. Also I think my drop links are gone so should i replace those before i come to you? And might it be an idea for me to change the top mounts on the front struts too? Is there anything else you can think of that might need changing before i come down? Cheers Danny

according to the map the closest one to me is Carson Tyre and Autocare 2 Lancaster Park Bowerhill Industrial Estate Melksham Wiltshire SN12 6TT Will they do the proper job like you would at wim? I dont want to go there and not have it done properly

I dont have a print out. Think i might need to make the trip down. not that far i dont think. How much is the geometry set up?

Hi I have a vauxhall omega and i have strange tire wear and the car pulls to the left. The tires are wearing on the outside on the n/s/f and the inside on the o/s/r. The other 2 tires seem to be wearing normally. I am convinced this is a geometry problem. I live in swindon wiltshire and had the geometry done by a garage here last year. The car was pulling to the left when i took it in. and still doing it when i got the car back. They told me this was due to tire wear. The tire have been changed since and is still doing the same. Tonight i had a blow out on the o/s/r. When i removed the wheel the tread across the tire was ok across 75% of the tire but the inside was worn out and the edge to inside side wall was totaled (down to the cord) which is obviously what caused the tire to blow. Can you recommend a place near to me that can set my car up properly and not fob me off with a load of bull. Or should i just drive to the wim garage to get it done properly? Thanks

Ok i will try and get down there on saturday

they did give me one but i gave it back to the guy when i took it back and he never returned it back to me.

Hi i have recently taken my vauxhall omega for full geometry. after it was done the car was still pulling to the left. i was told it was the tires causing this. i changed the tires and wheels for another set i have and still the same. took it back and now they have told me that its the lower arm and track rod end on the drivers side. ( i was told to replace the lower arm on passenger side before they did the geometry which i did). Basically i am not happy as i have spent £80 for the set up and nothing has changed. if i get the other lower arm changed and the track rod end. Where can i take my car to get it set up properly? And how much is this likely to cost? I live in swindon wiltshire. and i was pointed in the direction of this forum via OmegaOwnersForum. Hope somebody can help. Thanks
