1. If you have coloured lenses you will need a new lens, if you have clear lenses you will need a new bulb.

2. and 3. Maybe a whole new balljoint kit will be needed but usually just some re-shimming will fix it. This one's more about doing the work than about buying parts.

4. A new CV gaitor kit.

5. If you already have the frame then again it's more about doing the work. You will only need to replace anything that brakes or you find is broken while changing the frame.

6. That could mean anything but the bracket isn't that complex really and fixing it won't be hard, stick up a photo of what it's like at present.

All looks right, you'll need a new indicator bulb too, I presume you have clear lenses?

Problem with subframe is that the bolts can snap when removing, I suggest you get under there and try to get some WD40 on any threads you can see, (radius arm bolts etc), now, and do again Thursday to try ánd help out a bit come the weekend.

i dont mean to be patronising and/or perverted... but have you greased your nipples? My MOT man loves it when i grease my nipples

ironically though... you get less play if you keep them greased.

Anyway... back to my dungeon
