The problem with age is we loose confidence as well as strength and each job can be a major task, full of apprehension. It took me 4 days of scrambling under the car, grazing my knuckles and lots of swearing but l did get there in the end, and saved a lot of money l didnt have. But good luck to anyone doing this, and if you are youngish then please pay no attention to my ramblings.

Thanks Ray for your post.---I am sort of youngish, 83 this year.--


PS. Just fitted a lower front suspension arm and two new rear discs for the MOT.---
