Small things really. Front wishbone bush and steering rack knuckle joint on the nearside plus brake pipes.
Brake pipes changed, knuckle replaced both sides and wishbones replaced both sides. Would have changed front bush but wasn't sure how(posted seperately)
Retest tomorrow.

Thanks Mike. To get it through the MOT, it was easier to replace the wishbones with the spares that I have I will change the bushes as per the instructions I was given and then put them back on!!
At least I have a ticket Cheers Lee

In the end I think the hard work is worth it Andy It cost me nothing as I have the spares, which makes it easier.
