Had an M10 bolt shear on the axle / swivle ball, so not even a part i could discard and replace easily..................................I got lucky though and managed to extract the B@stard, took all afternoon mind.

You'll have to let us know how you get on with that mate.
Hopefully it'll compensate for car being idle in cold temps ... previous threads on here have suggested it helps ...

I've driven it from Leicester to my friend's house near Newtown in mid-Wales. Lovely night drive trough a crisp and frosty landscape. I left it til late because there was a major incident on the M6 and I was hoping the traffic would clear.
My steering feels very slack, as if there's a lot of play in it. I hope it's something I can adjust at the steering box. I don't fancy shelling out for a new steering box this near Christmas after I've already spent all my money! I shall have a look at it properly when it gets light and see if I can work out where the play is.

The play will most likely be in the ball joints

Check drop arm ball joint (If you have one depending on year) failing that check ball joints on drag link both ends, track rod both ends and then wheel bearings swivels.

Re post 17331, well spotted Jai, it was indeed the drop arm ball joint. It had lost its circlip, end cap and spring. Fairly cheap repair. In fact it cost me nothing, because as a temporary measure I swiped the bits off my friend's Land Rover. It's on SORN at the moment. I wil tell him when he gets back (I won't just let him think his has fallen out!), and buy us both new kits when I get back to civilisation. Where I am here it's a 40 mile trip to the nearest legitimate source of parts (and that's a main stealer), so it's bushcraft repairs for us!

Just drove very slowly down the m6 & limped to the garage after she developed a vibration . Turns out its the rear prop uj ......could have been worse i guess
