« on: 20, February, 2012 - 18:40:56 »
I have slight body sag  :o ;D
sorry i will rephrase that! my c5 has slight body sag, nothing major just a little anoying when your sitting in it and the pod is sitting at a slight angle!
Is there a cure or even any prevention to stop it getting worse?

I should think the only cure would be a metal support bar. It is a common fault and a fair few of them are like this; including mine.

One way of reducing the "twist" is to always store your c5 with an old piece of wood between the floor of the bodyshell and the underneath of the legshield to straighten it out and just remove the wood when you use the c5 . This wont completely cure the problem but does lessen the effect.

Cheers guys ;D
iv cut a bit of wood to jam in between leg sheald and the floor.
I cut it slightly longer so the sheald sits past the point its ment to!
Hopfully it may correct it if left in place for a period of time!
