I woukdnt write off the new parts on the wishbones, best to get under with a pry bar and start trying to move things. Might be faulty parts...
Does she tramline at all?

Yep, VERY sensitive to changes in camber of the road too... But tbh I'd put that down to the additional camber I'm running...

or not put back together correctly!
the roll bar clamps can be mislocated to easy leaving a clonking noise

Might actually be a fair shout; the clamps did get disturbed when I swapped the wishbones across iirc...

Ed new parts can be broken out of the box do don't just assume "it's almost new, it can't be that"

Tbh your so paranoid about the tiniest little things, I doubt there is really an issue there. It's a 12 year old car. It's not going to run like a Bentley and it will start feeling tired!

True enough, but the predominant issue has become apparent in the last couple of weeks; it DEFINITELY isn't just me being paranoid. The rest of it I can live with/sort out as and when, but the running issue I want to get sorted as it just makes the car feel shit. and I NEVER want my car to drive like a Bentley!!
