Removed a nail from one of her tyres, replaced the valve on another, and got the wheel alignment done... About time the steering wheel was centred properly!

PS. Is it normal for the nsf wheel to have more negative camber than the osf wheel? Noticed it on the tracking machine but the guy at the garage said its fine... Yet she drifts a little to the left if the steering is left unattended...

just got the car back from getting the front end resprayed. 45k motorway miles in 2 years had done it's job with the stonechips! Got the car mopped last month and all it did was show up the stone chips. So i bit the bullet and i'm really happy. The car looks as good as new!

The roads normally have a slight camber to allow for drainidge so it's normal for car to drift to left as the road cambers off that way, never herd of one wheel being more cambers than the other?

Yeah, I want to try it on a relatively flat carpark and see if there is any difference. The machine had all the readings in green, except the camber for the n/s/f wheel, which was red. Think it was about -1.3ish...?

Some may not like my tip but I wanted it simple but different to what every Leon owner wants.
