Today was UJ day. The black dust you see near the socket is what was left of the bearings from the end cap on the floor. Probably why it had a bit of knock about it.

Absolutely hated the clips to keep the caps in. Never thought I'd see the day when I appreciated circlips. Topped off my brake juice too, flagged up yesterday on the way to work that it was low. I can only assume the place that sorted my ABS (which is currently broken again thanks to flood water) didn't know to charge the pump first, so although it was on "max", once ignition was on it quickly dropped below minimum. I was really hopeful that it would've fixed my ABS fault, but not to be. Unless it needs bleeding because air has got trapped inside? Does it even know how to recognise that?
Still stalls when at idle, especially during gear changes, although not as badly since I replaced all the spill off pipe with Gates. Has a strong smell of diesel about it though, so I assume I may have a leak somewhere that could be causing the stalling. Just can't find any signs of a leak other than the liberal coating of engine oil around the engine bay.
