Hi all,, I just had 4 new Agilis tires (Agilii?) installed and the difference is amazing. But when the shop was doing the alignment, the front-passenger wheel wasn't able to get less than 2 degrees (it was a very obvious slant) on the camber. He maxed out the adjustable adjustments to no avail - has anyone else encountered this? Also, with the temperatures rising here in Texas, I've had difficulty starting my westy hot. I usually have to wait 5-10 minutes to let it cool down (longer I'm sure when full-blown summer comes) and when I try repeatedly to start her, there seems to be a strong fuel odor. I sometimes lightly push the gas when it is trying to turnover (like it says in the owner's manual) but I don't know if it's too much and just compounding the problem. And I thought I was the only one who loved my westy: I was driving to get my tires today and noticed lots of stringy bark and grasses being blown around the interior...I thought, "my camper isn't THAT dirty already!"...and I looked back and noticed a bird had built a nest in the space where the canvas top gets folded into above the sliding door! Luckily there was no bird and no eggs....too bad, I coulda cooked up the freshes scrambled eggs yet! Alan
