Don't cars play up when you can least afford the time to sort them. I've been preoccupied these past few days and it is as though the cars know
The Activa has had a tendency to lean when parked up for the past few days and this morning it really had an alarming list to starboard but work called and off I went. What's more, it was very slow to get its act together and sail with an even keel. Something did not feel quite right.
I spotted it this lunchtime. One of the roll corrector linkages was hanging in free air Closer investigation revealed a missing bolt that holds the linkage rod to the front wishbone. It could only have fallen out because I did not tighten it properly when I had the linkages off for lubrication A bolt scrounged from our Artisans soon had it all right and it drove much better on the way home.
That on top of my strange cooling incident and my 205GTi being sick too is punishment I'm sure for neglecting them for a few days
I'm off to Dover in the Activa tomorrow. The first long journey I'll have done in it. I just hope it all holds together...
I'd better really pamper them this evening methinks
