Replaced a ball joint and bled the brakes today,been ropey for a while.much better now.
Bought a new engine last weekend.
All the bearings in my power steering pump are eating each other,there are still too many oil leaks and it has done 190,000 so is probably due a look at in depth.
So cue a complete engine/gearbox on 76k with all ancillaries still on it,non AC,pretty clean looking lump. Stripped down for swapping of pump, manifolds(non EGR),TD04,new cambelt kit and all that jazz.
