Drag Coefficient

does anyone know the official figure of the drag coefficient of 480? i imagine it should be rather low. And how big the difference does it make between pop-ups being up/down? I do like my pop-up in down position (for as long as the day permits!). I always think the sleeky front looks cool and specia...

steering wheel misaligned

Not so long ago I’ve had the Kwik-Fit people to do the wheel tracking (as they recommended me doing it so I thought ok why not). As it turns out though, it’s worse than before!! - the car goes straight (not pulling to the left/right or anything) but the steering wheel doesn’t, it’s off-centr...

Noise under braking

recently whenever I depress the brake pedal, I can hear some very noticable "glocking" sound coming from the rear wheels..the rhythm goes synchoronised with the speed until the car comes to a halt.

Is that brake problem? Or something worn out from rear suspension more like?
