Work on Big Blue :

New GM disks and pads - old mintex and apec....loads of life left, but juddery as hell.
oil and filter change
tighten gearbox selector linkage
unblock scuttle, and new pollen filter.

Also tech2'd the servotronic a few days ago from medium (default) assistance, to the minimum.....much improved handling.

Thanks Jimbob!  Adjusting the servotronic has changed the feel of the whole car, was pleasantly surprised, she feels a lot more solid on the road and a lot less skittish. :y

New boots soon and she'll be spot on! :-*
Or more accurately, charge you :P

Sorry I'm skint, can I pay you in kind?  Tweak your nipples for you maybe?? ;) ;D
