Changed front suspension struts, steering idler arm and anti roll bar links!! That was a handful.. Quick question changing the steering idler arm, does that ruin the tracking?  :y
No

Finally got an intact battery for the Westfield, so that was my commute. First time out since october. :o

Fortunately was not afforded the opportunity to write the "track day tyres on snow" chapter of the tyre debate. ;D

I suspect that many people have a New Year Resolution to drive in such a way so as to inconvenience as many other road users as possible

No options to get past (or even near, as normally a rather long queue behind them) on my commute, bar just under 1m of dual carriageway in MK :(

(being MK, the first car following will pull into right lane, and not manage to overtake in that 1m
