    Steering wheel wobble

    He only needs to have nudged a kerb though and it could have affected the balancing. My CRV was a right bone shaker like you say just before 70mph. I had the wheels balanced and it was like night and day. In fairness I had the tracking done too, but that just corrected the pulling to one side...

    Steering wheel wobble

    Sounds like it should be a pretty simple balancing of the wheels to be honest. Get it to a tyre place, ask them to remove the old wheel weights so they are balancing the front wheels from scratch, and see if that sorts it. Incorrect balancing does tend to raise its head between a certain range...

    Ross LY 200

    Gutted to see that scrape on your wing :angry: Nice to hear you've got the gearbox sorted. Our 200 has led a charmed life since I bought the CRV to use as a daily in October. I think between the Porsche and the 200 we've done about 1200 miles lol :sunglasses: And about 8k on the old truck...

    Cat repellent

    Yep those green crystals do b*gger all. If its your front garden then maybe this is a no-go, but I hear a lot of good reports about leaving a half filled bottle of water in the garden. Cats hate water, and reflections and will avoid it. I've got dogs, and when I got peed off with cat muck on...

    My RS('S)

    Nah I got the bolt out no problem, I just couldn't wiggle the bracket out of the hole in bodywork. It got done anyway, might sort passenger seatbelt out in due course, though its not really dirty, but I'll try harder to get the bottom rail out

    My RS('S)

    PS nice gains from the RS tuning remap. I had one done by Paul years ago on my 172 ph2. :sunglasses: Would like to have one done on my Mk3 200.

    My RS('S)

    Try soaking the seat belt in wash liquid (like persil, fairy, woolite) and leaving it dipped in a bucket in the footwell for a few hours. Then uncoil it all (like your photo shows anyway) to air it. Push your seat forward, and plug the drivers belt into the rear seat buckle :smirk: It will...

    Gearbox oil changed a year ago - luckily I have the remainder of the 5 litres of oil left after the first change. I'll give him a call tomorrow.

    JMR's LY200

    Little (uneventful) update. The little LY200 has had a fantastic winter all tucked away and done hardly any miles. I bought a AWD Honda CR-V at the end of October as a daily driver during the winter months. I've shod it in Vredestein all season tyres so I've got a "go anywhere, anytime, any...
