Even if you don't refresh the rear suspension, you would be well advised to replace the rear track rods as they have a nasty habit of seizing solid.

I only ever bothered if they needed adjusting, and heat couldn't free them.  Obviously when fitting new, a good coating of (proper) coppaslip on the threads tends to prevent further reoccurance.

Have had a few that bent trying to free off... One was on the ramp at WIM.
 Without seeing or knowing the car or it's history the advice would be to replace them.

cd spec will still have alarm fitted and unlocking the drivers door with key can trigger it hence hazards but horn should still sound (the alarm horn up in the corner of the scuttle )

In the case of the flights, did you not have to prove you actually took the flight to be entitled to the compo?

Another day, another compensation claim going into Chiltern

The UK rail service really is crap. And expensive

There is a real scam you can do with that, people buy an open ticket, use it, then look at the actual arrival times of the trains within the ticket window, and claim against the worst ones!

There was a similar scam when Ryanair were doing the 99p flights. Buy a ticket for every 99p flight you could find, and wait for one of them to be late/cancelled and claim your E261 compo which I think was £220 ish. If more than one in 220 flights was delayed/cancelled you were quids in.

No, that was just for fitting tyres I had already purchased. 

Took the C1 for MOT. It passed with a couple of minor advisories.
Had to pay £40 to have ap air of tyres fitted though.
I begrudge paying it, but my knees cant handle DIY anymore. 

40 quid for a pair of tyres. My mountain bike ones cost more than that.

Thanks for all the input, have now sorted the stat, luckily the pipe.came out with little effort.

Interesting to see the the pipe is available.

Has anyone got a 2.6 V6 drivers side cyl head?

I'm in the shit having just cracked mine trying to get the water bridge banjo bolt out.

The banjo bolt had snapped and the bit left in the head would not budge.

Any help would be most helpful.
