Finally found the cause of knocking on the van that the last garage couldn't. This track rod end has loads of play. Does it look easy enough to change?

Well spotted. It is on the bumpstops. I wonder if the springs are fucked. It's meant to be able to carry nearly two tons ffs. Utterly fucked I think, how much weight do you normally carry in tools when you aren't doing a scrap run? You don't want to fit a 5t set if you don't need to.... Strangely e...

A mate's mil has a 2019 astra for sale and wants £4k for it. Only details is she's 70+, has bought a new kia and the astra has just turned 20k miles.
Anyone want a punt?

Went to take the spare wheel off to swap it for the buggered front one. I need a five sided allen key to drop the cradle underneath ffs so have ordered a set. I didn't know there was such a thing. I didn't get a toolkit or jack with the van so have been carrying a bottle jack and wheel brace with me...

Took up the slack on the handbrake of the van and twatted my ear/heed off a spring hanger in the process. Just been in the shower and noticed in the mirros my right lug is swollen.

Same here. I buy a new one each time as I can never find one.

Have you not got a groundsman in a little on site cottage to do that for you?

Just a bit breezy here today although sunny. Sick to death of the fucking rain too.
