Right well a friend (mechanic) had a quick look under my car.. so far i need replacing when i can afford..

The rear dogbone mount needs replacing..
Both anti roll bar links need replacing they look brand new but the seals? are shot..
the tie rod ends were loose so tracking needs looking at
the steering rack gaitors look old and worn out
cambelt is due in 7-8k


Feel like this could end up expensive but atleast should have a solid car after.. im going to swap the dogbone mount first as the engine is knocking when i let off  :grin: :grin:

Then work my way round the car fixing bits as i go  :wink:

For a daily it's certainly keeping you busy!
