Cheers Rodi,
Will inist that they track front & back so next time. Any outfit in particular better at doing 4 wheel alignment as I said last couple of local places I got tracking done never went near the rear wheels. Wouldn't mind travelling Cork to get it done if it was to be done right.

In my own experience the Fast Fits etc. cant do tracking very well. Good deals on tyres but I've never gone back to them for tracking after they made my previous BMW worse! Ended up going to an indy who did a proper job.

I've never done the 75 but after noticing my rears having excess shoulder wear I might get it done. Tyre pressure is not an issue, and the tyres have about 10000mls on them

A bit off topic but I have 2 complimentary passes for the Formula Vee festival at Mondello Park this weekend. One pass admits one car with however many occupants.

They're free to good homes

ooohhh...really tempted, but we're off to Cork I'm afraid. Pity, as that would've been a good motorsport education for my Girls!

Let me know if you got my text that didn't actually send first time...

I'll keep an eye out for you, living at the bottom of Brewery Road but head over to Knocklyon via Step and Glencullen a good bit.

I've never seen any other ZT around Blackrock/Stillorgan, though there was a gorgeous Starlight Silver Contemporary SE with Starspoke alloys around for a few years. He seems to have shopped it in for a similarly specced Royal Blue version now though

Can anyone recommend a garage in the Dublin area with a guy who knows something about 75's? Than means not Ryans in Blanch

Have an air con problem, and in this weather that's serious

I've heard only good things about this chap. Not MGR specialist but an aircon specialist who says he does all makes. I plan to use him to do a full regas etc. on my system.

What exactly is the issue on yours?

Meath77 · 12th July 2013, 22:46

It's not working, but I know the compressor works and Previous owner brought it to Ryans said it needed a new ECU. Got a new ECU and it still didn't work. Then said it needed a T4. But they also tried to replace a gearbox when all it needed was a solenoid, so I don't really believe anything they say!
Compressor and gas is fine, I know that. Might try that guy in Tallaght.
