Went to Alive & VDubbin' today... Got an entrance pic with my best attempt at a smile so waiting for those to be uploaded lol. Then the ticket guy was really interested in it as he drove an ST... Not sure where to stick A&VD window sticker though...

Fitted in quite well I think.
And I must admit, the yellow fogs are growing on me!
It's pretty horrific to drive with the new wishbone though, tracking is even further out than before, though I have 'booked' in with a mate to have it done at accident repair shop this week...they should be able to sort it given the state of the stuff I've seen going into their place lol.
Also hopefully Bash can get somewhere with the leaky shock tomorrow as I doubt that's helping the handling issue atm.
The noise from the wheel bearing seems to be coming from inside the tyre rather the centre of the wheel so makes me wonder if there's something in the tyre! Will leave that for now anyway as it's not noisy and I can't feel any play in it.
Apart from that, I should be receiving a plain dash facia and standard stereo tomorrow to tidy up the interior, and will hopefully regain some funds by selling the horrible blue dash and the crappy aftermarket stereo.
I have PAS fluid ready to change - common problem on these due to being ragged and having a relatively low amount of fluid in the system means it boils quickly and turns to a black sticky mess. Been told it's easy to drain though, just put the return line in a bottle and crank the engine for a few seconds....seems less messy than Rowells method.
So just waiting on service parts now I think. Have also ordered a tool to allow me to do PCM (that's engine ECU to non-Ford guys lol) updates to hopefully cure the stupid idle issue. Gotta be honest, I don't know how anyone has put up with that for 8 years, it makes slow manourves, crawling traffic, junctions and roundabouts so much more difficult than they should be! Especially when I'm used to a diesel where I can pull away in 3rd and not have to worry about stalling it.
