  1. 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
  2. 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!

  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.

  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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.

  12. £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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Very nice! Great fun to drive, mine has 20 years on yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Yes. Seen proof too. He gave me the parcel2go reference number and they confirmed it was lost and that he had applied for a refund. He said that he presumed that I had received it until I contacted him. He doesn't always reply promptly or even after the first email but he sorted mine in the end. I did always stay polite and diplomatic in the emails to try to ensure he didn't just see me off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I haven't received mine but I have been in contact with him via email and have now had a full refund. Had to wait a while for his refund from the parcel company but worked out in the end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. 10% off until Monday using valentine10 at cyc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Got it. You can delete that post if you like now. Pretty local to me, I'm in Waddington. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Unsure, but hopefully he starts to sort people out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I have had contact with keechy. I thought I may as well have a go as lots of others have tried. I'm not sure why he responded to me and not others? He has proved that he had sent my mk2 strut out and that it must have been lost. He has applied for a refund which he says will then send to me. He emailed me the screen shots to prove this. I asked him to come back onto the forum but he then replied asking me to ask you lot to email him names and addresses for him to chase up. I used the email that we paid the money to through paypal which is [email protected] he never said why he didn't want to use the forum but I hope this helps some of you.

  22. Pm me your address and I'll get them in the post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
