Didn't Joe have the same sort of problem?

I do seam to remember that......

not another fooking steering rack  :angry: :angry: :angry:


 What did I say last week  :wink: :smug: :smug: :smug:

great - another £100 down the fooking pan plus fitting

although i do seem to recall you mentioning it wasn't a bad job  :tongue:

anyhoo you can take it for a spin tomorrow mate to confirm if you'd be so kind :afro:


It was easy to remove from my car, took about 2 mins as the subframe was sat on the garage floor with no car attached to it  :tongue:

gotta start charging money now, although i need block paving so can be paid with bricks too  :wink:
