Adam Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Ok, being the nice guy i am, i searched through the previous posts and this is the information i found about the layby from two years ago:THE MEET UPOk the meet up before entry is on the A58, in a double layby (both sides of the road). The layby is easy to spot, as it has a big red bus parked in it. It is in the dip in the road. Just south of Wetherby.DirectionsFrom the NorthTurn off A1 at Wetherby, just past new road section, signposted LEEDS A58.Go round 2 roundabouts on outskirts of Wetherby. Approx 3/4 mile you will go down a dip. Layby on the left. From the SouthTurn off A1 signposted TADCASTER, OTLEY (1 before Wetherby) Join A659. bear left for LEEDS. 1 mile down the road at T Junct, take right for Wetherby. Approx 1 mile up the road is Layby on Left/Right.Go to googlemaps and type in LS17 9LG, this is the postcode of Harewood House, have a pan around to see where you will be coming from, the above directions should make sense once you have seen where you are going to end up,http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF-8&...p;tab=wl&q= Edited August 17, 2007 by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemma Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 good good, i dont plan leaving early, probably need to leave about 5-6ish if its still on until then that is! Just wanted to check so i didnt get trapped in by all the parked cars haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupoN Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 if people are getting lost on the way from south, leeds bradford airport is a decent waypoint (near enough a straight route from there). plus theres loads of signs to it everywhere.

db Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 There is now a possibility that my car wont be there due to a massive crack in the windscreen making it unsafe to drive such a distance. Autoglass can not fit me in till next week, RAC said the same until i pleaded with the woman who's trying to get me in on an emergency appointment tomorrow morning. I'll give you all an update tomorrow because if i can't go then someone can have my place on the stand. I will still be there though...somehow.

Philplop Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Not having much luck are we? Hope you get it sorted, fingers crossed for you.On a happier note, I have my car back all fixed now. Needs a bloody good wash though, probably end up doing it in the dark tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks, Phil, to say i'm gutted is an understatement. The amount of effort i've put into the car this last week dodging rainstorms to get it to the standard that i'd feel happy with showing people is stupid. I've had it half in and out the garage the last couple of nights doing little bits here and there to tidy things up. I'm really hoping they an fit me in tomorrow.I'm really pleased your cars back though Phil, what was wrong with it in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 i've got everything crossed for you lukip just get that RAC number on speed dial and dial your finger off till they come and see you and timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 oh no try some other companies too mate, I used RAC auto windscreens for my car earlier in the year, they were really good and I got it done the next day - could try booking it to a RAC autowindscreens shop - theres one in stafford... you could get it booked and drive here tomorrow beforehand! Hope you get it sorted, really looking forward to tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 That's where it's booked in Pete, RAC branches only open 8.30-12 on saturdays for emergency's. So we'll have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 It was a worn pinion bearing, nothing to do with it being low apparently. Can't get just the bearing though, so he had to get the full shaft. He said it looked as if the bearing had done 100,000 miles. It hasn't even done 30,000 yet!All sorted though, so I'm a happy bunny. Now got one evening to get my car up to a standard that I'd be happy you lot seeing it at. Might be a long shot to be honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Good news Phil Right, i've managed to locate a windscreen, some technicians and a station that'll do it this afternoon after being on the phone to the RAC for about 45 mins. So hopefully everything should be well If anyone is in the same situation, don't bother phoning Autoglass they're a pile of ****, the call center staff are dim and unhelpful. Phone the RAC they went completely out of their way to help me, to the point that i'm going to write a letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
