Andy - Think i'll have another word next week when it goes back for the auto height on the xenon lights to be fixed. Might also get the local protyre to do a geometry check and confirm everything else ok - will cost me £35 but it needs ruling out i suppose.

Xr-Stu - This is what i was hoping that it would be something like that. I was thinking bleeding of the fluid, because its a bit like when you have air in the brakes, you have travel on the pedal - its like travel in the steering.
