Hi Plip 1953, I am not too techincally minded so cant be sure it was the shorter springs that led to the toe out, or it was like that out of the factory.
I can say that the car was new, the delaer fitted the lowering springs before collection and after a week or so, I took it to Wheels in Motion (Chesham) and the ‘Toe Out’ was shown to me as excessive both sides. I will try find the print out and post it later.
I seem to have sussed the starter button/windows and locking now - all good.
Swapped the standard air filter for a pipercross one - cannot notice any discernable difference! Took about 3 minutes. Was looking at the sound tube - considered removing it, but not rally an issue, so will leave it.
