I want it exactly how it was before Saturday.

Its possible one of the polys has shifted a tad, as one side had a fair amount of movement compared to t'other...   ...but on the unloaded wheel when it keeps trying to overtake the front  :-\

Not got a dodgy front wishbone rear bush? This felt for all the world like the back end when it happened to me.

Just had another new screen fitted... car now needs a new headlining as a strip of it came out with the glass where the glue had been forced out by trying to press the trim home... :-X

On the plus side, it was never going to leak ::)

Aren't you worried about the paintwork around the screen frame being scratched up every time you get another screen fitted? That's what put me off having the brand new one of mine took out, after I got the rain sensing, but non-heat reflective one fitted by (their) mistake.

Nope... that's the mileage it's done... so Autonoglass can refit it the screen as often as it takes to get it right ;D

Haha.  :y I know of an Omega round here that was scrapped and had done 333,329 miles. I did ask him surely he had considered running it round the block to take it to a third of a million, just for the photo. The really good bit was it was a little 2.0! The really, really good bit was the car wasn't scrapped because of the engine! The engine was actually fine, and was fitted to a taxi locally the next week. So for all we know that engine is now on 400k, somewhere!  8)

with that at 333k and yours at 274k, I feel mine's only just run in at 181k  :D

Traffic too slow, plus a tad slippery this morning to test, but only rear twitch was a genuine loss of rear grip, so fingers crossed its back to normal.
