	Craig I got mine done at CH Bull & Sons, Bridge of Weir (BP Petrol Station on the Kilmacolm Road), not sure of what bits of kit they use but there was a noticeable improvement in the cars handling, so much so that I can now detect a difference in tyre pressures between tyres from the way it behaves.

	Well got the car back and I have to say it does feel MUCH better! The guys tell me that the toe in (or was it out?) angle was out which not only caused the steering wheel to be turned about 15 degrees to the right when the car was driving straight, but was also very likely to have been the cause of the DSC warning light to appear randomly. This was likely to have been caused by our attempts to remove the rear ball joints without the special tool! So all in all, not as expensive as I had feared. Dealer quotes in () :- �150 (�320) for the ball joint replacement. �75 (�200) for the 4 wheel alignment �90 (�180) for the recoding of the car for the DAB tuner I would quite happily take my car back to the guys at Mtek, as they seem to know their stuff and the prices are a lot less then the dealer quoted figures......... cheers Alan Edited by alanm_3

	Just a quick update on the DAB tuner situation. Having got it coded in, I've taken a feed from the TV antenna (after trawling the tinterweb for days to find the right cables and connector), and lo and behold, it works a treat! If anybody has any interest in doing this retrofit (or the digital TV once I did last year), let me know and I'll do my best to help and advise. cheers Alan
