AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHH:X

Post by bullethead » Wed Aug 18, 2010 8:58 am

I've clobbered a wheel and think I must of buckled it. Had the tyre removed and wheel spun on balancer tyre guy says its not too bad .Tyre on balanced again says its ok but i've got an annoying friging wobble. No visible knackered suspension,alignments fine. Apart from the shot driveshaft which I cant be arsed to change even though the new 1 is sat on floor in the hall and along with 2 more dents from arses in car parks. So i'm seriously considering selling....... :cry:

Thats a bit extreme bullethead, selling for the sake of 2 dents (Could these not be repaired?) and a wobble, clearly things like this happening are a pain however the sell/purchase thing is also frought with issues aswell and whats to say the a new car would not have similar problems at some stage soon after purchase.

Your car, your choice clearly just spend a bit of time considering all the options :thumbsup:

HI

For what its worth I have thought the same but think to myself I will loose if I sell now. Just take a deep breath and set a time frame like review how you feel in say 2 months or 6 even. It a bugger when it appears everything seems to go wrong at once. Hang in there buddy :D

You plonka! You must have your reasons fro quitting and of course the car not being right at the same time makes you go mad. I would too.

Got a good indy that can take a look at the wobble? Checked usual - tyre pressures, brake discs for warp, when it happens (braking or all the time), etc.

You'll forget all about it at the meet - promise! ;)

What more of an excuse do you need now to change the alloys you've been contemplating it for a while now.
