Default scooby is now undriveable :-(

Had to nip out this morning. The vibration in the steering wheel has got terrible. Having to keep fighting the car to keep it on the road. So had to leave it at tescos In inverurie.

I know the problem with the brake caliper at the front. Yet its even worse whenim not touching the brakes. Had a good look round. Nothing obvious. No buckles or cracks in the alloys.

Another bummer just when its getting ready for summer.

Anyone else had a similar problem. Going to budget for new struts and springs. Possible the hubs and bearings. Wheel alignment along with uprated arb's front and rear. Also new tyres.

They say bad things come in three's. God knows what the 3rd will be.

The gearbox is behaving fine. Needs a new clutch I know that.

Had a look at the disc. Gone threw half the the brake pads on the passenger side.

Replace and rebuild on the carss tomorrow
