...for his help with wishbones, drop-links and tie-rod ends. Drives really really nice (touch wood). You can tell it needs an alignment (it did anyway as my cambers out on O/S/F IIRC) as it pulled once or twice but really not that much at all.... not like scary pull like it did a few years back. Whole front end is transformed!!!!

Treats for you when I get paid!!! 

Re the job, Martin did O/S and I did N/S. Removing w/b's was a piece of piss...even I did it no probs  getting new ones in was challenging and I had to have Martin's help with my side but other than that everything was really straight forward.

If I'd have done the job on my own I would have been able to do everything apart from the re-fitting of the w/b. Just awkward trying to get the back bush in place at a straight angle whilst holding the strut out of the way and fighting with the ball joint.

Re the removed parts w/b ball joint boots were torn to shreds as were the drop link boot/gaiter thingys. I never picked that up on inspection cos the gashes in the boots were all hidden by their respective retaining nuts. But it's done now.  Going to fit new dampers as soon as I'm paid (even I can do those alone  ) and then straight to WIM for a set up.....oh yeah and a whole new exhaust as mine sounds awful 

Anyway thanks again Martin.... legend!
