Just got mine back from being serviced.
Feels quicker and more reponsive, for a 8v 5Dr ;D

Told that the brake bias thingy, which evens out the brake load, is stuck. An MOT failure so will need doing.
Is this why I keep locking up when going fast and would it explain whey I went off the road a few weeks ago when going round a luckily slow bend :-[
Up a grass bank backwards, but didn't hit anything or damage anything :-[ ;D

Cam belt done last night.

Was lucky it could have gone anytime!
The belt had gone hard, next step brittle and break!
The bearing on the tensioner was getting nasty so could have gone anytime.

?150 all in - so i'm happy now.


Oh got him to take off the heatshield on the CAT.
Bummer i still got a rattle/resonance!!!
Where's the other heatshields????
