• Any - Xenon headlights 8 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  superb amount of light produced by these Xenon headlights.  Brilliant doesn't begin to describe it. Conversely although I had them properly dipped it was very clear they irritate the bejebus out of other road users.  I am certain the alignment is spot on as well and they are dialed down
• Hyundai Santa Fe - Pulling left and right ! 2 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  Hello all..I bought a Sanat Fe new in Dec 2010, and from the off it pulled to the left. It had a four wheel alignment carried out, which detected a very minor problem (not enough to account for the pull), so I've lived with it, At first service, I mentioned it to the dealer
• Volkswagen Golf Mk5 Match - What is a VW door made of? Accident damage coverup 1 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  probably been replaced and sprayed to match the rest of the car. But is there a way to know if the rest of the doors innards eg any safety reinforcement bars etc, are intact? Does it have any strengthening? Everything seems pretty well aligned but I'm just concerned about internal damage
• Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) - 04 1.4 Steering veers to the right following kerb 22 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  In the icy weather, I skidded on ice and hit a kerb; now the car veers to the right and the steering wheel is slightly harder to turn anti-clockwise compared to clockwise. Pro-tyre (good guys) adjusted the wheel alignment but suggested I go elsewhere to get the "veering problem fixed
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 00 1.8i Rear Strut Mounting 23 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  . When the arms are refitted they obviously pull the knuckle and strut into some kind of alignment .. so I'm kinda trusting that! I've never done this before so any advice would be welcomed. Front ones are next along with the wishbones. On a different topic, I need to have my front seat welded cause
• Mondeo uneven tyre wear 18 May 2007 (Forum)
  feel in our other car. Would it be worth getting another garage (maybe a Ford Dealer) to do a tracking check, wheel alignment as well? Would there be anything else that could make the tyre wear incorrectly other than tyre pressure? Cheers All.
• UK Roads 6 May 2006 (Forum)
  to the small claims court after they refused to pay up for a damaged tyre and front suspension arm. I did win the case but the defect has still not been repaired! It surely has come to something when vehicle tracking seems to be way out of alignment after a mere 800-1000 miles. Are the highways in desperate
• CD/Radio For 2002 Vauxhall Corsa 27 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I have just bought a new Blaupunkt CD/radio (double DIN size)from E-bay to fit a 2002 Vauxhall Corsa. The CD/radio went in to the cage the standard radio/cassette (Philips CAR 2004) was in, and the 3 plugs at the back all aligned, however there is nothing showing on the dashboard display, and unit
• Ford Focus & TSBs 28 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  the pulleys and put a new belt on etc but to no avail. I was just about to give up and live with it until I read a Ford TSB that applied to my car that described this fault exactly. It basically means the aircon pump bracket needs to be re-aligned - not a job I want to do myself. My question is, would a Ford
• Headlight adjustment - neccessary? 26 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  the headlight beam after just replacing the bulbs. Its the H4 2 fillament type with the 3 prongs that just unclip and pop out. I intend to replace them with the uttermost care so as not to move the reflector, so would back roomers suggest getting the allignment checked, is this likely to upset the alignment
• Micro scratches - any remedy? 17 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Toad Toyota has been very carefully polished with freshly washed dusters and the best of non-abrasive polishes available to me with very good effect except that, if the light and the viewer are aligned in the right - or wrong - way, numbers of fine scratches can be made out, presumably due
• New Tyres - Golf TDI Mk4 (S-98) 12 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Original ContiEcontact (195/65 R 15 91T) on front worn out (of alignment) after 22k miles - replaced with Michelin (-EXT2) which now need replacement after 38k, which I presume is well done. Also, I am happy with dry/wet grip, etc. Original Conti rear tyres also need replacing now (after 60k
• Nissan Primera - Wheels turn when I drive over dip or hole in road 2 Dec 2018 (Forum)
  the tracking was off, which I took to 4 wheel laser tracking alignment, but I don't think it has helped. I don't even know if they did the job correctly.  I bought the car, last year (it was a low mileage version), but I don't know if it has a hidden history or accident.

  Hi, Just read somewhere on the forum about the mercedes c class pulling to the left, I to have the same problem on my c250 cdi amg sport estate, new on 21/2/14. Booked it into the dealer last week where they carried out the tracking/wheel alignment and gave declared that the car runs perfectly

  and they told me they couldn't find anything wrong with it. they said that the issue was caused when the teeth on the discs dont align properly, and that by tugging on the gearstick a i pull up the clutch, it should just pop into gear. i was told that as mk2 focuse dont have synchromesh for reverse gear, all
• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - 01 1.9 Seat and steering vibration/bouncing 27 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  aggressive, until 65-70mph when it sort of starts to level out allover the car and is not as bad? Ive had wheel alignment done and one of my front wheels balanced, as well as a new bearing and cv boot? the garage said in the MOT my rear nearside tyre needs replacing, could this be the cause of this? Also
• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 2001 1.5 Noises after Cambelt change 18 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  . Normally a very smooth engine but now I have ticking from the fuel pump area. I suspect that I overtightened the tensioner so the fuel pump cog has moved slightly out of alignment. The engine now sounds like a Transit Van. The car drives OK, no problems there but power does seem a little down. Any ideas
• Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - 06 1.8 juddering in reverse only 4 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  was faulty and the clutch wasnt quite aligned properly with the flywheel (something to do with some springs). Now, I can change gear much more smoothly, BUT there is no change to the car juddering in reverse. This dealer is 1.5 hours away from me so i'm reluctant to keep going there. I phoned a local
• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - 05 2.0 Uneven tyre wear at the rear 7 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  checked ? Would a typical ATS/Kwik Fit-style tracking check allow and include adjustment at the rear of a Mazda 6 or should I take it to somewhere which can do a proper 4-wheel alignment ? Cheers.
• Honda CR-V II (2002 - 2006) - 05 2.2 Offside rear wheel drone 10 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  at the 2nd tyre change and the odd thing is that both times the offside rear has had a tread of 5mil, whilst the others have been about 2. Honda say if I pay £100 they will check it's not wheel alignment!!
