Pink & Blue 182, JDM DC2
Dear All,
After hitting a pot-hole at about 30mph in Bristol whilst away I have damaged my Cup in some way or form. I had the tracking done in Bristol, but still felt pants driving back to Kent so booked it into Renault for a full mechanic check over plus tracking done again.
Technician reports I need a new NSF wheel and tyre, but thats it. Renault out-source the tarcking to ATS over the road, who when I went and spoke to, use this machine (which they showed me) to carry out the checks and then correct if necessary using a wall chart. Now, on the chart it said "Renault Clio 2.0" but not Cup, or Cup 172.
Is the tracking different to a standard 172 on a Cup? If so, should Renault know this?
Paid my money on Friday and drove car home... the car is still handling awful compared to new... so bad in fact, that the steering wheel hangs to the left when driving, on staright roads, pulls to the NS like anything, and under hard breaking pulls left and right. Car going back to garage tomorrow. Anyone got ideas what could be wrong?
Seems car will be @ Reanult a while. I do have pics of the hole I hit and I will get them on here ASAP (tomorrow). At the mo though Clio will be off road. I reported the pot-hole to Bristol City Council, the highways agency and the police so they aint getting out of it.
Regards to all,
Simon
