Changing the idler pulley is a good idea too. Got rid of my chirping noise especially on tick over.

+1
Mine was chirping away for a while before i tracked it down to the idler pulley (this was after having my alternator refurbed as i was certain this was the culprit):doh:
 
Changed the lower front nearside ball joint. I knew it was going to be a pig, but the MOT required it, as it had a split rubber. Anyway, a 6 hour job, 2 hours of which was spent heating various parts up and whacking them with a lump hammer or trying to stop the threads turning as I tried to undo and then tighten the nuts. Sounds crude I know, but needs must. All sorted now ( including reassembly with LOADS of copper ease - I just hope the other side doesn't need doing sometime soon.
 
Bodges my rad with putty (plastic padding leak-fix) was at the top on the plastic bit, big crack, had to fix it some how until I get a new one, Just did the bake pipe today as well and had that fixed... drive away and this happens
 
Left her 300 miles away. No doubt when I get back to her she'll throw some toys out of the pram. It has already been 3 weeks since she last did anything. Getting her ready for next MoT though. Chances are I have traded her in before hand, but better safe than sorry.

Also ordered a key fob refurb kit.
 
Went for an MOT - all good, advisory for parking brake ?? Anyway, the ball joints are all good, so I won't be doing that job again in a hurry. Prepping the car today for a 500 mile round trip during half term holiday. Seems everyone is checking stuff at the mo !
 
Gave it a little birthday, oil and filters ready for my first laning trip tomorrow:banana: I know it wont make the car go off road better but good excuse it wanted doing.
