Well, some work has happened since my first post!
Work carried out:
New rear beam bushes (the old ones were bloody fine though...)
New drop links (cured it!)
New matching tyres all round
Things still to do:
New rear calipers (have them, just need to fit them)
New rear shocks (old ones done move at all)
3 weeks ago the already heavily welded exhaust broke where it meets the backbox. Currently lashed up with wire to get me to work and back, hoping the new backbox turns up soon, have the (non cat) centre pipe
Hopefully, soon there will be nothing actually wrong with it, and I can start to look at a new accelerator cable, the slight oil leak and maybe give it another service. Rear pads will need doing too, their already low...
Nearly at 280k too. She needs a good rag, not gone much above 2k since the exhaust went, dont want to piss it off even further by booting it around, plus it sounds like shit.
