Finally got my car back today :) Although I don't think the wheel alignment was done properly, steering feels a lot heavier and for some reason the car feels slower :\

Always took simon for a receiver, not a giver.

This I can confirm!

Have a look down near your Alternator, in front of it (sort of below more so), theres a power steering line which should have a sensor tee'd into it. See if someones undone that plug as it's fairly common cause of the steering being heavy.

Chompin Italian at Ash's new restaurant next to Squires

I would try if I didn't have a wood fire oven at home

would take me less time to fire it up and cook pizzas at home than get to nunawading lol

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow. I had a quick look at my car tonight (through the heavy rain) and I think they've done the alignment completely wrong though, seems the camber (and possibly toe) are out, which explains why it feels slower as well.

Did you get your Alignment printout? Get it fixed if they've screwed it up badly (it's gotta be hellishly out if its actually causing so much drag you can feel it being slower)... and it'd be munching through tyre already

Nope, the panel beaters took it to another shop to get the alignment done so I don't have any documentation. I knew I should have sent them an e-mail with the wheel alignment specs, most shops are horrible at getting the right specifications for imports. I remember on my last car when I needed a wheel alignment and I told them I have the specs for it, they just said "Don't worry, we'll work it out" and I foolishly believed them. Got the car back and it was terribly out of alignment, they are just too lazy to look it up.

I'll be calling up tomorrow to get them to fix it, because it definitely doesn't handle as well before the alignment.
