Good morning all.
It's raining here for now but, looks like it's brightening up slowly

Mrs mininuts is off doing a craft fair this weekend so, the food shop is down to me today

Ah well, at least there'll be lots of cakes in the cupboard

Forgot it was a Bank Holiday weekend until it was mentioned on here

Well we came home yesterday to a cold country , I said I would try and tow the sun back and I have .

Was hoping to have the drop links renewed while I was away because they were knocking, by Shiner, anyway he came round last night said he preferred to do the job while I was here.

He got stuck into it and found that the ball joint on the lower wishbone had excessive play in it on the drivers side, and the top mount was also creaking like a goodun! so after weighing it up it would be better if the suspension on both sides were renewed from top to bottom, because the possibility of having to strip it down again was on the cards in the near future.
Not what I had wanted but I think it would have been false economy not too do it this way.

What do people think did I make the right decision, I probably others might have scrapped the car at this point.
