    Nope, although the bearing split into pieces when I took the shock out, im guessing this could be the cause of them problem?

    Shock compresses 1/2cm when pushed? MOT failure.

    Failed MOT on 'worn bottom ball joint' but the ball joint is brand new, had the car jacked up and when I pushed the wishbone up no play in the ball joint but the shock compressed about 1-2cm very easily?? No play in the other side? Recently swapped the shocks so could I just not done the top...

    mk1 brake converstion

    You would also need the larger discs 259mm, caliper brackets, obv pads. thats about it! pretty easy conversion to do, might need to buy some new rubber seals for the slider pins on the calipers as they are often fcked but these can be had fairly cheap also.

    Took out steering rack, anything I should do while its out?

    Just taken the old 1 out, haven't put the new 1 in yet, anything I should do while the old rack is out? Cleaned the new 1 up, put cable ties round the gators and cleaned the subframe in the car, anything else worth doing?

    How much would this cost to fix (rust)

    Rear arch liner has properly rusted, dad looked at it reckoned it could be welded as its only the liner not any mounting points which have rusted! failed mot on it (and many other things) Anyone know much I would be charged for it to be welded?

    Hmm so why is the battery light flashing and stereo cutting out :S

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    Hmm wiring is a bit crap in my car so wouldn't be suprised if it was that... should the wire from the back of the alternator run straight to the positive on the battery? Might try putting a wire straight across and see if it makes a difference...
  18. S

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    Nope standard stereo, battery light flashes pretty much everytime I drive the car now, sometimes stays on for quite a while :( What could it be??
  19. S

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    So 14v@idle is ok, but what about 12v@full load? Does this mean the alternator is ok but wiring could be fcked?
  20. S

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    Hmm that was @ idle wasn't revving it at all... Could it mean a stuffed alternator, bad earth, bad alternator wire?
  21. S

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    Battery light flickering on often and sometimes stereo cuts out when too loud, checked the voltage across the battery earlier, it was 14v with no load, then 12v when I had on stereo, de-mister, hazards, rear+front fogs, full beam everything with a switch lol. Does that sound ok or fcked? Cheers
