Not having driven her much since replacing the front cross member, I decided to take her out for an hour or so just to see if the repair had made any difference. I can honestly say, that after some spirited driving through some challenging country roads, the front end felt very much improved, it just felt so much more positive. All of my pulling to the left has gone and under heavy braking virtually all of my wheel wobble has disappeared. ( I think I maybe in need of some new track rod ends.) I can even feel the change of road camber through the steering wheel instead of her always pulling left. Chuffed to bits to say the least.

I know what you mean Russ, the last thing I want to do is smear anyone, it's just that after some sound advice I felt it prudent to be open. I too am left in some doubt as to whether to continuing trading, I guess we are all open to trip ups I suppose. To err is human.... Having said that though, I will be looking at alternative vendors, maybe worth a sticky list?

F@@king brilliant mate...... :lol::lol::lol:

I know what you mean Joel, I was shocked to say the least considering I have been purchasing from Coz for the best part of 10 years. Gob smacked.

From what you say mate, I must have been so lucky, not one difficult connection throughout. No wonder it wouldn't hold refrigerant. If the opportunity arose, I would gladly help with yours.

Just an update with regards to my pursuit for some sort of recompense reference the faulty Cross-Member issue. Sadly, my efforts have all been in vain I'm afraid, and going by some of the comments made by the vendor, I am not surprised realy. So, after some very good advice from some very eminent members, I feel that it is in the interest of all members that I disclose the source of the Item so as to help anyone else contemplating the same repair. With truly the best intentions, the vendor was.... Concept Z Performance. (USA)

Have you checked your system settings? could be that you have all the volume set to front speakers and none to the rear. Similar to left and right balance for example.

Happy Birthday Russ... :happybday:

Did they arrive okay?

Impressive work there Russ. :tongue_smilie::thumbup1:

Posted yesterday mate, should be with you soon.

How many are you after? I may have a couple of originals.

Safe journey mate, true club spirit having travelled so far. Hats off to you indeed.

Great to see you again Baz, I hope you get your boost issue sorted soon mate.

Thanks Si, I am genuinely saddened that I cannot attend. As you say, see you and the rest of the guys at the next event.

Hi Si, I can't believe it, my holiday on the inland waterways starts that weekend so sadly I will not be able to attend. So genuinely gutted guys, just as I was building my confidence with meeting people during these events.

I guess it is listed somewhere, but what are the dates for Beaulieu? I hope it does not clash with my holibobs.

Mine too, I did not realise just how intense the sun was. As you say, a great day and I really enjoyed meeting everyone, some for the first time. See you all again soon I hope.

So true Steven. :yes: I think I have found some more tin worm already.:detective:

Thank you Jeff, I really do appreciate your comments. :thumbup: As for the cost of having a body shop tackle it? I dread to think. :pinch: I recon with all my faffing about, it took me in excess of 50 hours. :excl:

Just a quick note to say a big thank you to everyone that has helped, advised and even motivated me during this arduous venture. :thumbup::thumbup: Now... what can I weld next? :biggrin:
