Default Hee hee: caught you out!

Had the 'new' S8 back into A4 Audi again yesterday for a couple of niggles. I'd had the wheel alignment done a couple of weeks ago as James had recommended this after he'd put the standard suspension back on before I bought the car.

But it just didn't feel right and the steering wheel wasn't straight, so back it went. Andy sheepishly admitted that their alignment machine wasn't working on the day I'd taken the car in previously, so they'd taken it to Kwik Fit.

Yesterday, they'd checked it out on their own kit and it was miles out! KF had done a total bodge. It feels loads better now. As compensation, I also had headlight alignment checked, diagnostics for the gearbox and a possible misfire (negative), a 'rumble' between 50-70mph looked into (they'd done 23 miles to check that out - someone likes the car!) and no bill!
