I had a rear puncture a few weeks ago, before the tan hill meet, and now the car has started to sort of wander across the road as if being blown around. I did have to drive a fair way on the flat before I could find a safe place to stop. Any ideas what this is likely to be? Could be a bush or is it more likely to be a rod end. HICAS still opererating so is it likely to be one of those. Darrell

I have had my guage installed now for about 8 months and its caused no problems at all, however just recently it seems to take a lot longer for it to register a temperature... It used to start moving at the exact point the standard one started to move, and they would both rise to normal operating temperature at the same time, now the aftermarket one seems to be behind the standard one... What could be causing this? Cheers guys
