unfortunately, it does sound like the passenger side exhaust gasket is going/gone, ticking noise coming from that side (but only hear it when the stereos turned off ;D).

so what bits do I need to bring apart from the gasket, part numbers would be handy aswell :y....and will there be enough tools?
There's loads of them :D

Good should keep my guest happy then...what sizes ::)

Do you have all the bits i.e. manifold gasket, front pipe gasket, rear coolant pipe O ring etc?

Whilst it is a quick and dirty way to get the camber closer, it is no replacement for getting geometry done properly  :-/

I disagree on the camber setting

So far, its got every car I have done to within 5% of ideal! (confirmed by placing the vehicles on a proper setup at a later date)

What I cant do is get the tracking right!

And, its better to do it this way than leave it as it is

Sorry, I probably didn't make myself clear enough. The spirit level can get it almost bang on (assuming entirely flat surface for car), but this + tracking is no substitute for a proper geometry check/adjust.

Resetting the camber with a spirit level, if its way off, will help reduce the cronic wear on the shoulders though.

The Meega had a propper geo set up at the VX dealers, I recall Mark seeing the print out and saying that the camber was incorrect and the adjustment need only be tweeked to correct it... happy to go with that :)

As you say, I need an even surface.... Mmmmmmmmmmm!  Newent!

I know, infront of the Fire Station doors ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ah, right, that should be fine then :y.  How much else of the geometry did they say was 'near enough' rather than 'right'?
