Well I replaced them not so long ago and it's been standing for two weeks.we shall see.

Eventually had a look today and the pipes were perfect

The problem was the blank cap on number 6 injector full of cracks

and not the sort you want

5 minutes to find the problem 45 wasted minutes trying to find the bag of spare caps without success

I've bought so many kits I had loads,even gave some away but sods law I can't find one. Made one up out of a bit of pipe and a pop river. Not leaking so I have time to find/buy the proper one.

Try a stubby screw in the end to seal it

What you prefer and what you get are 2 entirely different things

why do my balls move up and down but not side to side?

thats balls in front hub ball joints, before you get funny!!

I would have thought any wear would allow movement in all directions

Side to side would be your track rod ends or wheel bearing hanging off.smaller Y fronts required if you're not talking hubs

The upper swivel is not a ball joint, just a pin in a plastic bush

I don't know how he checked them, usually jacked up and a bar to lever the wheel up to see if there's any lift. Gripping the wheel at 3 and9 o'clock and check for any movement in the linkage..If he had his hand down your pants I hope he passed it FOC.

That’s not really free then is it?

Duchess got her 2nd autobox oil change and finally greased the ujs after grinding down the grease gun nozzle. My, probably all, nozzle was very thin steel so was very careful with material removal. Full height on the suspension too just to help and it's done now. Had a good look around underneath while she was over the pit and everything seems ok, no developed leaks or bits come loose.
She's a good girl

I know that he can get more money back but once his innocence has gone....,

Checked by putting it on those pads that move in and out on the lift

Usually applies when having an affair with a married woman.

RangeRoller dt · Dec 15, 2021

Having an affair with a single one does sound quite dull. Plus I can’t stand cats.
