Have done the same myself, had to drive 700km home before I could fix, by the time I got home I could only turn to the left, made very interesting driving through town :lol:

What you didn't want to come?! ...i thought you wanted to test out your new (at that stage) lightforce products and see if you could do cranstons without any lockers... I must be mistaken :D
