It seems like every toe-rag and half wit 4x4 driver is giving you a helping hand towrards that though.

I reckon that the springs may have gone at more like 20k miles, so I'm driving like a real granny over speedbumps at the moment. That said, it doesn't seem to tramline quite as badly and the ride is a little more supple (or is that me going slower?).

The CD changer also started skipping last week, which gave more than one singer an interesting st...st...stutter . The dealer had a bit of a go at wriggling out of it as it turns out that the changer was fitted by them at PDI. But as I still had the original order which showed it was supposed to be a factory fit (with 3yr rather than dealer fit 2yr warranty) they're fitting a new one next week.
