Went to change wheels to discover the top arm shocker pin has snapped. 2 weeks since MOT too...MOT's are only good on the day they are tested...the other 364 days they are worthless. Anyway, nuff moaning, i've got a top arm to fix!

    cheers....think i'll need to take the whole arm out to drill the pin. At least it's the O/S one....no rad to deal with
