Replaced a steering idler arm. New one seems to have too much play in it as well   ???

Time to have a cup of tea to calm down before the inevitable disappointment of the test drive.  :(

Oh, and whoever invented automotive ball joints should have a place in hell reserved  >:(
Not gm then.

Plumbed in the trailer lighting wiring... ended up with a 12N socket as the 13pin one was made of cheese, so all the screws stripped in the terminals ::)

No such bother with the Vauxhall 7 pin plug, so the 12S can wait until Newent... should give me half a chance to obtain the bracket for the second one. Tested with my trailer board and all working as expected 8)

Also liberated my rear exhaust hanger as it had finally escaped ;D just need to trim and fit the replacement one now :-\

Washed it first thing and it was looking spot on. This afternoon swmbo said let's go for a drive on dartmoor. A few narrow dirty lanes later it needs another wash and stinks of horse shite :)
