   Thanks, that's great news. I'll try and sort it tomorrow. Someone at work told me they were hyraulics on the 8v, so I was gunna book it in a garage and get it sorted. But if it's just normal I'll do it myself.
   
   Cheers!

   Garage would not be able to adjust them still
   Would have been a big bill!
