Yesterday through a lucky series of favours got some work carried out on the disco. Initially is was only going to do oil and filters at a mates place. Then another of his mates showed up , seems he fixes tie rod and drag link ball joints. So as he is doing these for me my mate shows him some bits he has machined. The result being my cost was discounted by a three way trade of favours and good will. Never got to change the oil though !
The drive home was so much nicer as all play and vibration now gone.
