    V, the cleaner will cost me £16 a week, so if I have to give up something else, it will be worth it for the help in the house, even though it is only 2 hours.

    She's cheaper than the House Mistress, Hypno! Am so glad you've found someone. For as we know......

    Sounds like track rod ends to me, but I'm no mechanic. Hope it gets sorted soon.

    You never know, it might be that doing something simple like cornering on 4 wheels instead of 2 would improve it... ;)

    Not off on Friday, sadly.

    OH is going to come over after work tomorrow and take the wheel off and have a look, and we will book it in for Tuesday.

    Yikes H, I was in your neck of the woods today & looked out for you* (ate at riverside, couldn't remember where you were going). With a car like that just as well I didn't come across you :eek:

    Hope it's something minor :cool:.


    * had this vague idea I'd see a skinny woman in size 10 jeans (who hadn't noticed the paint in her hair ;)), 2 athletic kids & a proud granny :o.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
