so when you know a car is going to be stuck a hoist for a few days, instead of rolling it off you just cancel all your other jobs and say can't do your job mate theres a car on the hoist :/

For me it's hard push a car out as i have very little room to stash a car outside. With the one stuck on there last week as the box and half the front of the car was off it would have been a pain to push around anyways. The job i pushed back was a clutch for a guy who was happy to wait the extra couple of days cos i gave him the notice.

I try and not do jobs that take ages to do, g/box building wise i try and stick to manuals as they are easier than autos. Same as diffs they are nice and easy. Anything major i try and stay away from unless the customer is happy waiting the month wait. As i only do the mechanical stuff on the side of my other full-timeish job i tend to stick away from anything major and only do day stuff or g/box diff work

Hi All,

In response to the original post I went down to Xspeed today to discuss the situation today with Hanson. Hanson was extremely forthcoming and showed me evidence of all the invoices in regard to the goods purchased, and then sent to the UK as was requested. So it certainly appears that Xspeed held up to all there side of the agreement.

This is not to say that the OP is incorrect in saying he hasn't recieved his goods, but they certainly the goods were sent a long time ago. I believe that there may be some misunderstanding here which is best resolved between the OP and the workshop, and not on an open forum where alegations may have negative impact.

If the OP has any issues with getting correspondance to the workshop then please feel free to CC me at [email protected] and I will ensure that the workshop responds.

Regards

Paul

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
