First things first I was goin to do a service.. but in the book it had just had one. And the guy said it had the day before.

but i thort i would check it had anyway... so i did an oil change anyway and to amazement the oil was nice and fresh. the Air filter was brand new.The cam belt was brand new aswell and the disc's pads were all brand new so i was happy with that, and left it at that.

they was slight knock on the front. so i changed the 2 front anti roll bar linkages.



and the n/s/f bottom arm as the ball joint had a lot off play on it. And for the price it was well worth just getting the arm than having the mess on pressing the ball joint in the arm its self. With disscount from work was hardly nothing.



and to add to my findings the front and rear end had a full set of powerflex bushes
