You gonna let us guess as to why....?



OK my best guess is - the DAB antenna was either unplugged or broken/knackered....
That is what I  assumed :-\ but it turned out to be caused by the wireless charger I bought recently for my mobile phone :(
Unfortunately  I had my hand up behind the  radio to check for loose connectors and tbe FM aerial plug fell out so I am  going to have to pull the radio to get that working again  :(

Just had 3 tyres fitted on me motor as the fronts was a bit errrrm worn (hadn't noticed the tread was down to the very very limits until the other day when I changed the front pads), 1 rear was also slightly above the wear blocks so had 3 Dunlop Sports fitted :)

All legal for the drive down to Billing now :)
And presumably absolutely nothing to do with your geometry... ::)

Maybe he just needed new tyres as they needed replacing due to low tread and opps all to do with geometery.

Inflated both rear tyres as they'd gone flat-think they're leaking round the rims-due to car not moving since March.

Swapped the battery, hopefully it's a dying cell that was causing the sluggish starting, certainly the charging from the Alternator looks OK.

Unpacked a box containing wishbones and rear adjusters  :) (Cheers Jason @ AGP) So I guess next week i'll have to pop into the trusty MOT station I use end get them to press the front bushes out as i'll re-use the poly's from the existing ones....

Spent the afternoon stripping the Galaxy to get the turbo out.

Haynes tells us to balance the engine on a piece of wood and a trolley jack then pull the engine forward to access the turbo - er, no thanks  ::)

Got the inlet manifold, EGR and EGR heat exchanger out without snapping any seized studs :) Tomorrows task is to get the exhaust manifold and turbo out, split it so I can free up the vanes then put it all back together - simples (I hope) ::)
