Got my tracking done today, had a serious amount of toe in and now have a serious amount of camber  :jumping:



Pretty happy with it now.

Also went to TPS and got a new diverter valve, so will get that fitted tomorrow hoping mine even tho a G is knackered so i get better mpg.

Hopefully do some other small parts to it tomorrow also.

It take them long?

Its like 100 miles from me so to go drop it off and then pick it up again would be alot of effort for something pretty simple ha.
