any news yet about the report that i faxed to you today? cheers andy Did you? what number did you send it to.... 01923249762 Looks good i will check tomorrow.... in the mean time pm me a contact number i case i need it. ok will do, thanks again hi there, so i decided to have a go at undoing the locknut on the t.r.e on monday morning which suprisingly came undone with little effort! which then i took the car back to tyres and exhausts galore for them to re do the tracking told them that id undone the locknut so they shouldnt have any problems. returned about an hour later and the guy said it wasnt the locknut that was the problem it was the steering arm seized in the t.r.e and the only way to do it was to heat it up and remove the t.r.e and replace it with a new one, so i said how much and he rang up their suppliers and then quoted me £58 to do it including the tracking but couldnt do it until wednesday!! so i told them not to bother and went and bought my own t.r.e from unipart costing £13.87! took the car down to walkers tyre services and politeley asked them if they could do it for me. a guy who i work with told me to go there and mention his name and the guy on reception said "of course sir get it on the ramps and we'll sort it out" it did take two of them to get it off, one heating it up while the other one turning the steering arm, it was extremely tight as it was creaking with every little turn!! popped the new one on then even tracked it up for me within an hour, but i didnt get a printout or receipt of the final tracking results due to paying through the back door if you know what i mean, just had to give the guy who did it a £15 tip, but everything feels spot on with the steering wheel in the right position than before so i hope my new tyres will last a bit longer than last time :rolleyes_anim: cheers for your help andy. also i was thinking that national tyre do a free tracking check, maybe id get a printout from them if i asked them to check it for me?

cheers mate still struggled to do it but the darling missus came to the rescue and sorted it out for me so i think tony should have it now, also i nipped in walkers tyre services on the way home from work and explained the situation and they said bring the car in and they might be able to warm it up slightly and have a go at releasing it then they'll re,do the tracking for £30 plus vat

When Tony did my geo he heated it up to adjust it. Or are we talking about the nut that holds it onto the hub as you obviously can't heat that up, but then why would it need to be just to make an adjustment? My MOT passed as well and you can see where it's been heated... Heating the steel lock nuts is fine. What you cannot do is heat the ends since these are cast. If you heat these you burn the Carbon and severely weaken the cast. hello again cant find the wimweb "enquiries" struggling to find my way around at the moment i will have try again tomorrow eve as i must log off now as got to be at work for 5. 0 clock in the mornin thanks for the help so far though

hi whats the actual email address so i can send it to you its all scanned ready to fly, also not to fussed about contacting them just like to know if its right or not and if not i,ll take it some where else to avoid giving them more money!!

hmm yes a waste of my time and money it did seem quite busy there with every one doing two jobs at once, even the gaffer their was answering the phone in the office then running out fitting an exhaust whilst also fitting a tyre at the same time!! maybe i should just take it somewhere else with a fresh t.r.e with me for them to pop on at the same time, but its finding a place you can trust to get the job done properly as ive learned yesterday!! also you mention the thrust angle should be "0" well on the report sheet its down as 0.03' so is that wrong for starters???

hi everyone just joined up today as recommended by essex racer on the meg site, he told me to join up because we were having a discussion about getting the geometry set up on my st24 and i said a garage quoted me £25 for the front or£35 for front and rear which he said was impossible and should cost alot more than that! but anyway i took my car down to tyres galore in leicester for 2 new tyres on the front and asked them to sort out the alignments on all the wheels due to excessive tyre wear on the front two as i had changed the wishbones a few months ago since then the tyres have seemed to dissapear on the outside edge within no time at all. so i watched them set it up with all the kit attached to the wheels etc. the guy came over with a printout showing that the two front wheels were toeing in too much and the nearside rear was toeing out!! so he said he could sort it out for the £35 which i was quoted, i said fine, went for a walk while they did it got back and he said he had done the nearside front wheel but couldnt do the offside due to the track rod end being seized up! i said well have you tried heating it up and he said it was nt worth doing that because it would knacker the grease up in the track rod end!! which i was quite amazed by this excuse.he did the rear one aswell which only needed slight adjustment anyway. so when i asked if i had to still pay for a half job they said of course sir as weve spent too much time on it trying to undo the track rod end and said if i can get a new one or get it undone they'll charge me just £15 to sort it out when i take it back so left quite unhappy also with steering off centre when in a straight line. but theyve gave me a alignment report essex racer suggested i send it to "tony" on here to have a look at to see what they actually acheived so ive scanned it just wondered where to send it to? thanks in advance andy
