just got the car back from its 15000 service and it feels horrible.

The steering feels light and it is understeering more than usual. It also doesnt seem to be pulling as hard. Dont know whether it is because it is a little smoother or what?? Annoyed a spent 60 quid on a pair of spark plugs now! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Any suggestions anyone????

Maybe you were running it on Optimax and they reset the ECU??, that would mean it'll take a while to learn the new fuel...

Well, could be that :D

Because some dumb Muppet put about 45psi in the tyres - don't laugh, it happens regularly :rolleyes:

Check the pressures with an *accurate* gauge, not a thrown on the concrete fifty times a day garage forecourt one......

Prodrive also reccomend -1.5 camber on the front - you would need to own a bloody tyre company to afford the tyres on those settings !!
