Hello people i am an omega novice and totally new to the site .
I have a 2ltr tourer estate which runs like a dream,but noticed yesterday that the car leans about 2" on the N/S front through to back and pulls to the left quite sharply.

Roll down the drivers window fully, lean out of the window until your outstretched fingers can just touch the bottom of the door trim strip. Now the next bit is crucial...lower your head gently onto your right shoulder (keeping a firm grip on the wheel with your left hand) and gaze down at the ground. The extra weight of your eyeballs should now have brought the car onto an even keel :D Simples ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) :y

If you need to have a little extra lean to the right simply drive with the drivers side front and rear doors open.If this is not working you can also remove the passenger side front and rear doors for extra weight shift ;D ;D ;D ;D
