Superskoda

It good to hear that it all ended well. When you go to pick the petrol one up you should tell them that you have changed your mind and you want to keep the diesel just to see their reaction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried to look myself, my jack clasped before I got the axle stand in the right place. The axle stand bent the tie rod(?). I've got it back together now with new parts and alignment. Will leave looking at the compressor to someone else later. My wife won't let me touch it again! It's in for a service on Thursday so might ask Skoda then. £150 is good!

Think I have the same issue. Was just about to book it in for a regas too. Just jack it up, take the front right wheel and wheel liner off? Would a drill with bit get access? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Is there signs to look for reference the chain issues? Does the price seem right? My dad is pretty poor with negotiating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi as the title suggest I was wondering if anyone has any history with this scout? My dad is after a new can to tow his small caravan but doesn't do many miles over the year. Because of this I have recommended a petrol to avoid DPF issues. Also if you don't know the car is there anything he should be asking about? Is there any special haldex servicing that he should ensure has been carried out or anything related to the 1.8.

Looking forward to trying mine soon (TFR). Got some delivered this week with a nice free bottle of there new winter sealant which was a nice surprise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chris your charitable generosity must be the only thing to out shine your detailing skills. Everything about this is very impressive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not really just a normal family car. Normally has a pram and baby stuff in and occasionally full of shopping. Fully loaded with a roof box too a couple of times a year for family visits and holidays. Off to France on Saturday so that's why it all needs sorting now. Can't complain too much as this is the cars only expense other than servicing and tyres in over 5 years and about 64,000 miles.

I did think that more negative camber would lead to more wear on the inside edge, but I don't really understand how it got so bad with the original settings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure about the baths. Checked the prices with TPS against what they quote and they were both the same. TPS had the quote on the system from when the garage phoned up. All they are charging on top is 2 hours of labour which seems very reasonable. This was the best they could do until the items are changed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well things haven't gone too well. Lower rear arms can't be adjusted due to them having their bolts rusted solid. They have quoted £320 for new arms, nuts etc and labour to cut out the old ones and fit the new ones. Not sure on the tps price for rear lower arms but it seems expensive.

£90 is for all wheels needing adjustment and the most I should pay. Hopefully the fronts are fine. These aren't advertised as hunter kits on their websites and also don't show up on the www.alignmycar.co.uk website. Thanks for the replys, I'm all booked in now for Wednesday. I'll post back with the before/after print offs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just spoke to them, check is free then they charge for adjustments. If everything needs doing it will cost £90. If it works I will more than save that on tyre wear at £95 a tyre (Goodyear eagle f1's) the company is http://vauxalist.co.uk anyone had dealings with them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have always heard good reviews about the hunter alignment set up but never got to use that kit on my car. I previously lived in Northern Ireland and they never had it there at the time. Maybe this is the reason that every time I have needed new tyres it was because of in proper wear on the inside of the rear tyres. Every time I have had new tyres I have paid for alignment too (not hunter kit) but if anything this has just made it worse! Anyway I need new tyres yet again but now live in Lincoln and there is a local Vauxhall specialist that has the hunter kit but I always read there were different settings? What's the latest/best settings that I check they are going to use? Here is the current damage on the worst side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
