    All the weight of the car when driving was moving towards the rear right of the car. When accelerating it was like a dog, unless I was on an left sided slope.

    Why ?

    People you pay $$$ to work on your car can't do what they have been instructed and paid to do in an orderly fashion. It was just put back together, with little consideration to certain aspect. The car was sent by a particular organisation several times and they couldn't figure out why it would not go straight.

    All of a sudden, I'm almost at a point I wanted to be at almost two years ago because I spent a day with equipment to inspect and do the job myself.

    Just need to get the tie rods adjusted to ensure I have an even turning circle both ways (now that's another story for another day).

    Mate, that sounds like the sub-frame has been lowered or at least loosened off to do some work, like fitting a front anti-sway bar for instance, and then tightened back up slightly out of position, this can alter the camber and caster on both side of the car. This happened to me once and the guys at J@* told me the car had been in an accident when I took it in to get an alignment done and didn't know what the hell to do! They were trying to fix it by adjusting the tie-rods! (geniuses )

    As I drove off I remember reading the signage out the front of their workshop..."Your alignment experts"

    Replaced the window clips, that broke on Saturday.
    I forgot how much of a prick it is to do. Easy out, easy fix, but the putting it back in

    I like! I was considering doing the radio surround, door grabs etc in carbon.

    Have you got pics of the console installed?

    Where'd you get it done?
