Yes 2005

Thank you both - just came as a surprise as it has passed the last 3 without any issues and you loose track of costs etc

12 quid per week for a years motoring, pretty good I would say.

The most worrying part for me, other than not doing it DIY is I'm fairly sure the rear suspension doesn't have any ball joints, other than the drop links and panhard (?) rods that would be replaced as 'units'.

Have the rear sections of the brake pipes been replaced yet...if not I'd replace the whole section and flexis at the same time.

Exactly that! And yes all brake pipes are being done at same time, hopefully they will not find any thing else to add to my woes Big Cry
