  1. Yes and more or less if it was adjustable, it needed adjusting! - Back home now and well worth the trip. It feels like a car now! Thanks for the help!
  2. Sat in wim now watching the spanner twirling!
  3. Next to Chesham Utd - I've been there with the Mighty Chippenham Town 7 or 8 years ago. - Slight thread creep.
  4. I think, the answer is obvious. - I'll be in touch.
  5. Here we go, not very clear.
  6. I replaced the nearside springs back in 2013, and one of the cams were disturbed, so I got the garage (Mx5 City) to fit the offside pair and full geometry, I asked for no explanation, simply that it be done. Clearly it was, and the pronounced left following my own accidental geometry tuning was corrected. The meandering I put down to worn rears, which I changed recently. This made no difference, so I started to wonder if there was something more amiss, especially having aborted an overtake on a B road, where the sudden tuck left took me by surprise. I went to a local road and tried to work out what was happening. I could see that the nose tucked when committed to a corner - I guess you'd say oversteer, but when having exited the final left, and accelerating in a straight line, i had to correct against someone else coming in the opposite direction who went for an overtake, 45-50 mph ish. And again that flick left and lift off saw the car fishtail through a number of oscillations, with me having to countersteer against each flick. To be honest I was bricking myself. I dug the figures out and came here, looks like it's not a good setup, irrespective of what it actually is 2 years down the line.
  7. Edit. Owned fron new (2003) 60k on the clock. Replaced all 4 springs in 2013 - (standard ride) after 2 broke. Geometry done at that point. Sits on standard alloys with Avon zv3 all round. I know that reads like an advert, but its not going anywhere. ;-)
  8. Yes I have a print, whats the missing bit?
  9. My 5 is wandering and a flick to the left and liftoff caused a hefty ongoing left right wobble that I struggled to control. Heres my settings. Thoughts? Front l/r Camber: -0.08 / -0.01 Toe: +0.08/ +0.08 Castor: +4.08/+4.5 Rear l/r Camber: -1.15/_0.58 Toe: +0.1/+0.1
