WiNgNuTz's Smoothed HDi Estate

[WiNgNuTz]

Been a while since I've updated this again, but as always, not much has changed! Daily workhorse/van/family wagon, plus a lack of disposable cash has meant the old girls been neglected a bit.

However, I've spent the last 3 weeks (well, 2 and a half technically, but who's counting? ) staying away in Ramsgate for work, so I had a word with my mate, and I've been leaving the car with him while I'm away, and when we finally finished the job yesterday, I got home to find the car has had both front wheel bearings replaced as they were rather noisy, and the top engine mount has been repaired and replaced! Apparently there was nothing left of the cradle, it had almost completely corroded away, and there was a crack up the side. It's all been welded up now, with a new plate in the bottom, as well as a new mount, and it was like driving a completely different car home last night! Much better!

Turns out that I have a slightly warped disc on the front as well though, which has become increasingly apparent since the sliders on the offside caliper were freed up the other week, but it just so happens I have a pair of discs in the garage that I bought a couple of months back, so that's a nice simple fix, may well even get done this weekend if the weather plays ball, and I retain motivation to do it!
