You sure your LCAs aren’t completely shot?

Once I went to get an alignment and they refused to do it as so much movement in the LCA back bush.

seems odd they wouldn’t just do both at once, is this normal? I mean it’s hardly convenient to drop a car off twice and surely they lose a lot of efficiency taking it off and back on again

no idea how this happened or when, I do know however that it’s never been in a crash and I don’t gutter park.

But I’m assuming it was done wrong a few years ago when the Lower control arms were done as that was the same week I bought the KO2 tyres (set before my Pirellis) and they lasted bugger all time as well

Is this happening in Darwin or have you left already... I just read about you getting the gearbox rebuilt whilst in Darwin , thats why i ask.

All good Luke, think of the positives. you have lots of answers. Sometimes it's expensive just to park in the shed! Mine has a transfer case waiting for it, Did you sort out the smart key issue? A bad day on holidays is better then a good day at home

Lol I’ve forgotten about the smart key issue, for now

You are right, holidays are what it’s all about!
