Geometry and aircon done at last.
« on: 25 June 2009, 17:36:46 »

Seeing as the Gnome was given the afternoon off from college he has mithered me to get some work done on the car.
First geometry, phoned up Nigel Langs in town and was told "Yes we can do it now." So off we went.
A couple of phone cam pictures.



and the before and after printout.


Then I decided to have a ride to the aircon man I spoke to last week to arrange for him to do a regas.
We got there and he was just finishing off a Volvo but in 10 minutes was free.

System pressure tested with nitrogen, vacced out and refilled with refrigerant, oil & dye in about an hour.



So quite a productive afternoon all in all.

Yup and not wearing out the inner edges of the tyres either.

Thanks for all your input guys......  :) The funny thing is that we left it much too late to get the mot done so when it failed on the rear suspension we had to get it done asap and we ended up letting the garage who had done the mot do the work...My hubby insisted that they double check that the suspension was for an MV6 and not an Elite..When we got it back it seemed to be sitting quite high on the back end  >:(My hubby went and complained and they said they had fit the correct suspension parts for an MV6 and we should leave it to settle down.
Fair enough ..it did settle a little but ever since we had the job done the car has felt really weird on the front end that is why we have started changing the parts on the front...
So...in an ideal world should the camber have been set after the new suspension was fit to the back ?
