Fitted the shock absorber mounts, fitted the o/s shock but I've run out of nuts and washers so I can't fit the nearside one yet.

Failed MOT...Doh!
Rear brake imbalance - probably a sticking wheel cylinder so I'll fit 2 new rears to be on safe side.
Play in front N/S hub assembly - already replaced wheel bearing last week so suspect drive flange.
On a positive note, the testers all loved it - even taking photos.

Dismantled front hub and drive flange, confirmed that it is indeed a totally seized rear wheel cylinder 
, (when I adjusted the brakes I didn't even think to check the operation of the wheel cylinder as it looks relatively new and wasn't leaking) , new parts ordered from Minispares.
