To get those sort of symptoms, I'd expect that too be extremely evident in a wheel bearing.
Jack up both sides, check for play at 12 and 6 and 3 and 9, and spin and see how long it spins for.
If either of these elements are DRAMATICALLY different on one side, then yeah it could well be a...
First thing is first, send a letter to the ombudsman, with all of this written up with approximate dates. A timeline.
Won't take you more than 30 mins in MS word.
So just...

Conclusion as to what you...
Can I be candid?
You're saying you don't have the money to give the car to someone to look at, yet you've pissed hundreds of pounds up that wall buying s**t you probably don't need. It's counter productive.
Also, have you have full laser alignment done? If not, do this next, as well as...
Downloaded late last night, not had a chance to look through it fully yet, but I'm not 100% on the "flat" look. I'm sure I'll adjust however.
It does seem quick though, very fluid.
To make it perfect:
Rear lights
Cup spoiler
Ph2 side strips (preferably colour coded but even black plastic ones look better)
Lower (has to be)
15mm spacers front, 10mm rear.
Recaros (preferably blue ones)
Snappy is a one man Clio wheel revelation.
Nevermind messing about with thumb grips etc, just get one of these.
I wonder if you buy a smaller wheel (like a shabby old OMP) he could trim it up all epic?
As above, sounds like someone is just trying to convince you to spend money with them.
If your exhaust isn't blowing, and is faulty isn't any manner other than sitting funny, then it just needs new rear mounts most likely.
Generally speaking, if you left the lacquer to cure for long enough, using a wheel cleaner should be fine.
It does depend upon the quality of the paint job.
Looks like a great trip. Love the mini too.
I really want to do similar with a few lads off of here. I may actually proactively organise this for next year.
LOL! I know mate.
But adding a town aswell as a county does help, i.e if I was just going somewhere local, or fancied a pint and a look around some cars, I could contact the members in sidcup/bexley/wilmington/dartford. But too many people just have "kent" or "essex" so it's a bit more difficult.
Standard.
They seem like good guys, but what frustrated me is that they seem to treat everyone the same. From the guy who's "trackpad has broken" (when he's accidentally turn it off with the function key) and then people like myself who has enough PC knowledge and knows when something isn't...
Course not! LOL
Basically, I got it. It was good for a few hours. Then it went pete tong. Then every day I came in and was plugging it in instantly because it was basically a desktop replacement for me.
After 2 days I got fed up and gave it to IT.
Got it back with no changes saying its fine...
Well what happened with me was I gave it to IT with a full charge, and they didn't plug it in because it didn't need it.
When I got it back it was fine, I put it on charge and it just died off again.
Yeah I don't get what's happened, but unless you want to have your pants pulled down I'd get a specialist to put it back together from mostly used parts.
There's a set of turini's for £250 I saw earlier I'm sure?
Then get yourself a second hand driveshaft off of someone on here, or one of the...
