Hi,

I said I would report back after full Geo setup and thought I would post the before and after  :D

Well, after 2 new wishbones (fitted by Daz - Cheers  :y) I went to Nigel Langs today for 4 new tyres (Uniroyal Rainsport 3's), Geometry setup and A/C vac and refill/re-gas (A/C had 50gms refrigerant left from the 950 when car new !!! No leaks  :y so filled back up again and froze to death on way home  :y :y).

I would HIGHLY recommend the place.  Professional, Pete CERTAINLY knows his stuff and car totally transformed - like NEW again  :y :y :y  Would trust them with any car of mine and my steering wheel is now FINALLY STRAIGHT  8)

Car was way out, and crabbing a little.

The two new front Trackrods I bought were not needed, so I have a pair going to highest bidder  ;) Bought from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=371053376220

Car handles great now, no wheel shake, no feeling like would catapult me off road  ??? and straight as die - I even ventured above 69mph (a tad  :D) and all felt solid and safe again  :y

Well chuffed.

Nigel Langs is by far better than WIM. They give far better service I found personally. 
Glad your car is sorted and driving how it is supposed to x

Even out dragged a BMW 320D from lights to his surprise with my 4 new boots  ;D and still averaged 36mpg on way back from Bolton.  Must be the engine timing and cam belt   ;)

May need rear brake flexies doing later in year.  Not sure when brake fluid changed.  Will pm you later in year if your interested  :y

  Bigron, give Europit a look at Heybridge, Maldon. I have had mine done there and also the ABS chairman has to. We used to go to supertyres but after a management change, they were a waste of space. Supertyres used to get a lot of the ABS Lotus Carltons to do, but not anymore

Lang's are very good, nice to see they use the revised geometric positions i wrote for the Omega and gave them. Pete is top of his game in regard to customer care and never to ashamed to call me if he has a problem outside of the box.
