Is this the end of my Zed? (Contains big-ish pics)
I've just done this job matey, my skirts were blended in so there was no way of removing them, i cut a huge chunk out of the rear wheel arch so i could see the damage all inside the sills, not good at all, i then had to weld in that tight space as stated on here it didnt have to be the tidiest of jobs as you dont see the sills at all but the most important thing is that there structurally sound, brace yourself when you first cut into your sill for a look as my inner sills were non existant, and then having to cut back again into good steel for welding onto, i was able to do this job myself as i do a lot of welding at work, also my father is in the bodyshop so he gave me some tips, one thing i had to do was cut a section out of the bottom of the side skirt, i was able to repair this and spray it and is now un noticable, i will try to get some pics up if you like, it is possible to repair as i used my own steel thicker gauge a body shop to do it would be quite expensive i would say, any help matey just let me know

Serious tyre wear please help !!!
just been undearneath now for a quick look now then the o/s top link or camber arm i can move with a crow bar, this would explain the judder under braking also the bottom ball joint im able to move it up and down but not that much movement sise to side the n/s well glad i checked, where the tension arm bolts through the bottom wishbone arm the steel has begun to tear and crack, where the tension arm bolts through ( two bolts) not much play at all in the ball joint though could these be the cause of the tyre wear or should i be looking at something else also?

No printout I'm afraid it was just a bog standard tyre depot, with a laser alignment 4 wheel tool, they just rest on the tyres and read off the laser marks, the camber is done by spirit level Iirc :confused1:

Serious tyre wear please help !!!
Gents i have had my car tracked and 4 wheel aligned countless times from the same garage and its always spot on :confused1: but im getting serious tyre wear on the inner edges of the front tyres im using continental sport contact3 225/45/18 and there is at least 6mm across the whole tyre exept for the inner edges looks very worn not far to go till i hit the canvass? what can it be? the tracking is within spec & the camber is also within spec the bottom arm is polly bushed but i get serious judderring when breaking this is down to the top camber arms im sure, is this that is causing the tyre wear, and why if the camber arms are worn is it not throwing the alignment out??? please can someone shed some light here im fed up of changing countless tyres, the last set went with 5mm across the whole tread except the very inner edges worn through to the canvass :crying::crying: any help greatly appreceated

fookin fuming
I get this all the time matey when i walk my alaskan malamute, bloody owners leave there dogs to roam free straight up to my dog and start growling, i swear one day as cruel as it may sound i will boot any dog that comes up to mine growling or snarling ready to bite, im defending myself from attack!!! owners keep saying my dogs ok, yeah probably is, but mine is on a lead and is a very dominant dog, so any stray dog that comes near me and looks a bit dominant will be met with a set of knarling knashers the size of a bear i kid you not!! i've researched my breed of dog before i owned one and know full well its strong hunting instinct, and dominant behaviour and i would say i am a very responsible dog owner, always on a lead and well behaved, until another dog comes up to her and starts yapping and growling i wont stand for that at all, and in the eyes of the law mine is on a lead so if it bites another dog thats off there lead its down to the irrisponsible owners that leave there dogs off the lead and let them stray away from there owners i have seem many dogs off there lead but are very well trained, they stay by there owners heels at all times, its the the ones who just dont care about where there dog is or who they approach the problem is!!
