 I've got the front subframe back in the car but it's proving awkward to line up because something's not quite straight! It came out of the car but with new mounts it doesn't want to line up. All suggestions are welcome. :mmkay:

 

Additionally the wiper motor wiring is done, new diff seals are in and track-rod ends are fitted.

Hi David128
Thanks for that.
Any ideas on rating for the capacitor and resistor?
