MOT for mine I mean around end of the month, so gave it a look over today, rear exhaust stuffed but knew that in stock is new one but it would not marry with my centre section (which I welded up a while ago and is still good) so no option but to replace that as well, also in stock, together with gaskets and mounts, both front wheel bearings need adjusting and off side track rod end worn, done the TRE and adjusted OS bearing, amazingly the front drop links are still good, considering the track I drive daily is pot holed I am pleased, so still to do NS wheel bearing adjust and a bit of body welding near the rearmost NS body mount and rear wiper blade, that is all I can find, Rick
