Morning folks. Currently sitting in McDonalds while the FL2 is in ATS getting a 4 wheel alignment as it's been pulling slightly to the left and that tyre has more wear on the outside rim plus there's a bit of steering wheel judder at higher speeds

Guy in ATS seemed less than impressed that I'd arrived and when I said it was an FL2 he said they were notorious for seizing (didn't say what) and if it was seized he'd have to refund me.

Will be interesting to see what they say when they call, which should be soon. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles

Update. Adjustments made. Here's the report

What's it drive like now? Common sense isn't very common.

With a double bacon cheese egg sausage burger with fries, and of course a shake, inside him, probably a bit slower

Very doubtful that the adjustments will make any difference to cure the wear you are experiencing with the NSF tyre.

Are you talking from experience?  Common sense isn't very common.

We had ours done about a month ago now after fitting new tyres all round, asked the tyre guys (who couldn’t do a 4 wheel alignment themselves) and they said it was definitely worth it, pulling to the right all the way to DTD in Worthing, £62 for the adjustments and now drives dead straight!

Not hugely better sadly, but it has improved.

Was the car involved in a small crash on the front left side?
If not, check the left front hydrabush as something doesn't "sit" right...

Not that I know of. No idea what a hydrabush is - off to Google  Learned to drive in 2011.

Not to mention that some of those values, even after alignment, seems a little bit off.
Especially the toe values, that give the main drive feeling and are the major culprit for uneven wear.
Anyway, see below...

Had mine done recently and huge difference noticed when driving well worth £40. Let me know if anyone localish needs it.



 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

That's disappointing that mine hasn't made much difference. Or that they are still out of the range you've posted Alex. Learned to drive in 2011.

Did you get a “before” report along with the after? (Should have) Regards

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

I didn't. Didn't know I should have. Learned to drive in 2011.
