So I booked a MOT for this and noticed a slight knock on the steering.... back into the blooming workshop she went. Another quick message to Supreme and i ordered uprated bushes and arms for the car. My lads were struggling to remove the ball joints so we sent them to supreme who did some amount of decent work, aqua jetting the parts and fitting all the bits. New wheel bearings too

Annoyingly the knock is still there, somebody has mentioned something to do with the but on the steering rack / column but not looked.
While its been sat on the ramp we have noticed a little coolant leak that just wets the hoses to drips, we couldn't find anything so the lads took the off and put them under a bit of pressure. The KTR coolant hoses have somehow got a few pin pricks in them which is weird, basically they have failed. I had the mot booked in so I didn't want to cancel AGAIN and i couldn't find a hose kit anywhere, i stuck a blob of glue on the pricks and wraped them with some sort of miracle tape from hellfords.
With the car pretty much fresh as they come I took it for a MOT which passed with flying color's, I got around 100 miles on the car and it was faultless, i noticed a drone on the rear which might be the old disks or even the calipers so I am going to get a set of refurbed calipers from Supreme and then change the disks out. I also managed to get a set of black coolant hoses also which are coming next week

at the end of the day i parked it in my garage, it has been on a ramp for over a year so its a bit weird but under the garage door openers light the colour just pops like mad
