Being European, I'd have said Prancing Elk, although it could be Elk Rampant.

I've had some opinions back from some other forums and they have said it could be hand brake shoes loose or more probably a ball joint....

Hopefully will get this sorted tomorrow, fingers crossed anyway.

A big thankyou to Gary at APT, he was on his own in the workshop but he still took time out to have a look at my car.

It turned out to be a loose caliper bolt. once re tightened and road tested all was back to normal....

See you all tomorrow....

I have since driven down to London lastnight and the car drives find apart from making a rattling noise when going over rough roads.

Any ideas?????????
Was the nearside wheel the one with the loose bolt?
Glad it did nt let you down on the run to London, someones looking after you!

Your car was awesome again tonight Stuart, a credit to how it's been set up, and I suppose to those clever buggers from Germany for designing it.
It does nt hurt you can peddle a car either!
See you around mate!

I'll second that your CSL was going really well. Good job you found the loose caliper bolt as I'd hate you to have an excuse. :grin:

Having thought I'd left you for dead on the straights and some of the corners round Snett. I was quite amazed to see you disappear backwards only to be up my ar$e after the next corner :o

A great little dice :thumb:

Thanks Guys. I'm loving the car at the minute i want to learn why the car is understeering the way it is and get a good setup sorted.

Like i said lastnight Gerry i loved the way your car came past rob and i and the pit straight and then it started spitting flames at us.

I enjoyed the dice too and struggled to keep up.....
