The CRV is home!
Unfortunately there is a big problem with it; under acceleration the wheel and pedals shake, and at 40mph+ under full acceleration it feels like a wheel is going to fall off as the whole car lurches from left to right
. I didn't notice this on the test drive at all, which is annoying. It got me home and the guys I got it from have been pretty good about it, so far they've suggested getting the tracking done and they'll pay the bill but I'm 99% certain it's not the tracking as it only affects the car under load. Depressing the clutch causes the issue to disappear, as does moving along without giving it too much power, but it also makes the engine sound rough which is a bit worrying.
My initial thoughts are something drivetrain related, and a lot of people on various forums have had the front axles replaced to solve it, but apparently they need to be OEM parts or else the problem will remain. I'm a bit angry at myself for not picking it up on the test drive (we barely went over 40mph which might explain it) but it seems that the garage are playing ball so far and I've also got the extra warranty to try if all else fails.
Besides that though it's been a good drive so far. It's taking a little while to get used to the change in size/steering compared to the '8 but I'm enjoying being so high up and wafting around the place in comfort as opposed to having my spine smashed up. We've almost got the sat-nav working too 👍
