well... just got car back.
at 6pm, i was still veering slightly, was noisy as a tart and would only start when i kicked it in the nuts.
now... 150 miles and 7 hours later... all problems are sorted

SIMPLE
crash into a roundabout at 40 mph.
sounds silly? yes maybe it does and it is probably going to cost the council a bit in grass but hey... my car is all better because of it
