| Power steering pump being done too, that'll be the steering resistance then! They couldn't reproduce the steering fault all day until they dropped it back to my house, it's intermittent so I'm glad i ... |

| Yeah the 4 wheel alignment was done after the bushes were done. Perhaps they did that but not a ride height calibration? I'll mention that one to them too, thanks! Could the resistant steering be the ... |

I hear the rechargeable battery is a soldering job. Shouldn't be a problem as I work with 2 electronics engineers. They should be able to sort me out.
I've had some great cars, the merc is a thing ... |
