Hi and welcome 

How come it needs TRE's? Lots of free play? Ball joints damaged? Out of interest

See ''Common Issues'' section to learn all about this wonderful motor

Me and Martin did my TRE's last weekend. Piece of piss 

Mine needed toe adjusting though as it was way of after I'd put them on so factor that in too afterwards.

It failed the mo.t on the offside track rod end and when I jacked it up hes done the nearside and not done the offside I was thinking if he put the r on the near side instead of putting it on the offside would that make a big diffrence and hasnt took it for tracking but I brought a new set today both new fronts outer and inner track rod ends then il take it for tracking then go from there needs 2 front tyres as hes said hes been driving it like it since a year as it was a advisory on last m.ot. for the sack if 27 pound could of saved 2 tyres at 50 each.
