Changed my panhard rod to a nice new one with superpro bushes!
easy job!
changed number 2 ball joint!
arse of a job! and realised cross rod eye is bent! steering damper eye is bent! and number one ball joint is shot!
looked at rear track rod and decided play it safe and get a new one before replacing the track rod ball joints.

Joys of living on a farm, fork lift! Gearbox fit under a treat!

Took the discovery for mot today
it failed on the stupid boot floor
more welding
what reason for failing did tester give. seatbelt mounts or body mount??
Boot floor int structural so shouldn't fail for been rusty. seatbelts pass thru floor but aren't reliant on the floor for any of their structural integrity. so can't be failed on belts. which only leaves body mounts and unless they're really bad he shouldn't have failed it if the other mounts are good.

Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
Worked out a way of not having to change the bulb in my reversing light...... Reverse into a bollard and smash the whole thing off instead
Thats what bollards are for.....what took you so long to sort it out?

I have already done the n/s/r body mount for the mot in the summer that was a nippy job its self . The tester said it was the seat belt mounts and the n/s rear seat prop that were not safe..
The floor is only bad at the last 300 mm up to the fuel sensor hatch will i have to buy the hole floor or do you get a shorter section?

So, you hit a stationary object coming in the opposite direction?

They just look like stationary objects until you take your eye off them, then they strike

tester is a ****er the only thing holding the seat belt anchorage to the floor is 2 pop rivets. ask him how the fook they're supposed to hold in a crash. the anchorages are held by a ring bolt that goes from chassis to anchorage. which is then held steady at the floor by 2 rivets.. Full floor is about 40 quid just cut out what you need if you don't wanna do full floor.
