Tim Did I not see you doing a quick repair to your rear end on the sea front??? Would that explain teh mis-alignment shortly beforehand>?? Cheers Colin

HAving spent all weekend driving Russells Mk2 estate, I was amazed how light the steering was, especially compared to my Mk1PI and Mikeyb's pre-assisted Mk2PI. My car has NOS top bearings (can't afford Roller ones!) and new bottom ball joints. Standard Rack and Bus-sized wheel. Mke had evrything standard and a Stag sized wheel. That really was heavy! Russell has fat tyres as well. I think a lot of it is down to what tyres you have. Mky Mk3 spitfire is really light on it's 185/60 tyres, far lighter than when it had 145/80's fitted. James, what pressures in what tyres are you running?? Cheers Colin

I remember that Merc! And I was told the "bling" made the car easy to follow.. cheers Colin
