Thing is Ian, Mario is crook, as you know, and he and Heather come up trumps every time. I'm not even sure Mario gets to go fishing these days. There is a Yiddish term that describes them both ( not sure of the feminine, Heather ), and it is Mensch. Roverlord are Mensch.Quote:

John, I'm aware that Mario is struggling at the moment. I always stress to Mario and Heather, when l place an order, that it can be done at their convenience. The delivery is still prompt.
There a any number of retailers supplying Land Rover parts, but none that can compete with Roverlord Off Road Spares, for service, value or quality. Roverlord is always my first go to business for Land Rover parts.
Yep, I know you know, Ian. I have recommended Roverlord to OS people. I don't know if that ever connected.Quote:

I am sending Mario and Heather both gentle hugs and hoping Mario is ok. (I have seen the NDIS struggles post [emoji173]) the worst things always seem to happen to the nicest, kindest people :(
Your a better man than l am, Gungahlin. I don't go fishing for anyone, even Mario. [wink11]Quote:

I went fishing once. On the Hawkesbury. Caught a catfish. In 1974. That was enough to say 'been there, done that'.Quote:

Was the mechanic tasked with examining the various bushes and steering links that could affect this?
It would be hopeless if all these things took the funds and she still has a problem with the steering instability.

The dodgy left wheel bearing seems to be the only steering related problem.
Im no expert , but wouldnt the low pressure power steering hose that has rubbed thru on the block have direct effect on the steering ?
Throw in the wheel bearing and possible the shocks moving in the mounts ( if that actually means much ) and it could all contribute to the fault.
Reading the link posted in the first post , It say's most of the bushes etc had already been checked .

I think you have hit the nail on the head :) there is a quite a bit of movement in the shock mounts, and the wheelbearing (that one was only replaced within the last couple of years [emoji33] but badly it turns out [emoji3064]) These 2 things are what are making the weird noises evidently. With how bad the radiator is, I have been doing well keeping it topped up :O the gurgling noise ive been hearing is from that radiator and its literally rotten to the core-ness [emoji28] i had been wondering why my heater wasn't so warm recently and this is the likely cause I suppose LOL.
