Nice to see I wasn't the only one to cut through the tie rods, I couldn't get my TRE's off for love nor money just ended taking an angle grinder to the tie rod.
Wheels have got to be Silver!
Just read from the start as well, brilliant thread.
Keep on going mate, these cars definitely know how to test you, can't even count the amount of times I've wanted to set fire to mine but once I've had a break, come back, got the job done and took it for a spin, I realise it's all worth it!
So, finaaaaallllyyy got some BioBrisk, no thanks to my local rep who was an absolute dick and f**king useless, wouldn't even attempt to use them direct again.

Anyone on here?
I had the joy of trying to disconnect this last night, didn't do a search and ended up snapping pretty much every single piece of plastic that could be snapped off haha.
