I put all the bits into the garage to do the wishbone joints, checked my thousands of sockets, to find that I don't have any 18mm sockets apart from cheapo Taiwany ones that I don't trust.

I wonder who borrowed my good 'uns and replaced them with these?

New impact socket (hope that I can fit it in as that angle cleat on the joint housing bracket looks a bit near) and 24" flexi breaker bar on order, which will give me a few more days to "study" the job! Flexi 18mm ratchet spanner arrived today, so just need a flexi body (mine!) to use it!

Must have a look for my ball joint splitter (just in case I have to take the wishbone off completely).

I'll get the phone camera cracking. It seems to take better pics than I can with the all singing all dancing one!

I paid a visit to marinabrian who not only supplied copious amounts of coffee, sorted a transponder for the rescue car, and worked his magic on a few poorly ecu's too.

Have a great Christmas mate, beer & curry in the new year
