[QUOTE="mike.s, post: 187070, member: 13548"] Failed! :sad0049: But not too bad - i had to take to a garage i`ve never been too due to some unfortunate circumstances and the guy who ran it really didn`t like my van!! Lots of swearing and muttering when he was going round it. But it failed on excessive play in the steering - a ball joint in the steering drag link is completely shagged - cant` believe i missed it although i knew there was something very wrong with steering when driving it down there - could hardly keep it in a straight line! And sharp edges where the rear arches have been cut out - doh! i`ll bend the edge back and apply a bit of tape for the time being! Also, bizarrely enough windscreen wipers not clearing screen properly even though i fitted new rubbers. Think it was just years of grime that has built up - hopefully a bit of a clean and polish will sort that. here i am ! - [img]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ORnVLtrsh8s/S31L67OcldI/AAAAAAAAA8M/sD9u7QK4CAo/s640/Image365.jpg[/img] [img]http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ORnVLtrsh8s/S31L-m0cLzI/AAAAAAAAA8U/Pon4-cW4uKA/s640/Image367.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
