#1 Arrived in the mail was an invitation from my original dealer to come in for a service and boasting how they have the leading edge technology :)rolleyes:). What pissed me off was a little leaflet that read:

Does Your Vehicle Suffer From Any Of These Problems?

Erratic Steering
Pulling To The Left
Uneven Tyre Wear
Vibration At Medium To High Speeds

These Items May Indicate A Problem With Your Vehicle's Wheel Alignment.

We Have Installed The Latest Computerised Wheel Alignment Equipment. If Your Tyres Need Replacing We Can Supply, Fit And Balance To Meet Your Requirements.


Umm yes I have the first 3 out of the 4, and its not the wheel alignment, so wtf is it then uh, seeing that you monkeys at Rick Damelian are such f**king experts who couldn't sort out my problems in the first place? :tosser: :mad:

Or are they just trying to be funny?

#2 Then later in the day I received a SMS reminding me my car has been booked into service today, and to let them know if I couldn't keep the appointment.

WTF - since when did I book the car in you bunch of incompetent pieces of $hits??
 
Dont you have a MJET?

I think they are 205/45/R17
 
I called them up and they confirmed that my next service is either 15,000km from my last service (i.e. 7,000km + 15,000 = 22,000km), or 12 months from last service (i.e. Oct 08), whichever one comes first.

Therefore no need to do anything for now.
 
Glad that's sorted then.

When you say it pulls to the left, mine does this, I've had it Re-Aligned a few times but it still does it. Hmm. I thought it could be to do with the curve of the road, so drove on the wrong side, but it still pulled me to the left, it's not sharp but noticable.

Sounds obvious but best place to test whether it pulls to one side is in a car park (preferably underground) with a complete flat surface, because hate to admit it, but the camber, humps & bumps, wind etc can affect it.

Do you have uneven tyre wear?
