Well this was unexpected!
2 minutes after my last post, as I was reversing out of the yard...
Bit of a problem here....
Not the right kind of negative camber :mad:
And the gearbox oil too :mad::mad::mad:
The problem
How that happened has me mystified
A roadside repair :pac:
Stupid crooked photo!!!!
All out
And the tool to screw it in
Lots of threadlock and the same crap with the other side, we have a nice comfy drivable car again

Holy Jesus! ^^
Reminds me of the time my Mother was bringing us kids to school in one of the many bangers my folks had (this is when bangers really were bangers) and the front left wheel came off turning a corner resulting in the car loudly grinding to a halt in front of all the other kids.
Embarrassing at the time for a kid but looking back bloody dangerous.
Edit: I just remembered the car. It was a yellow one of these pieces of ****!
Simca.

Not sure I said this before dgt, but as someone who hasn't much of a notion on the mechanical side of a car, it's extremely impressive to see that your car can ''break'' like that and you can just fix it and be on your way again in under a few hours. Very very impressive, wish I could do that.
Kudos man. 0 -

No idea what you're talking about there tbh...
Ah now I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings? Would MM like a compliment too? Here, I think your BMW is lovely, is that alright, feeling better?
Being serious, do you not like Alfa's MM?0 -

What makes you think I don't like Alfas? I'm only taking the piss and you're taking it to heart
Why don't you like Alfa's though?0 -

He's like one of those religious fanatics who will talk the face off you to try and convert you if they heard that you don't believe in God or don't have faith :pac:
What? You dont like alfas, and you dont believe in god :eek:0 -

'Tis funny that I genuinely wasn't taking it to heart... I was curious to see if you liked/didn't like them...:o:D0 -

Also set Fogs as cornering lamps

Both Lights working
Dash showing no errors
