Found out I need a new rear subby as the old ones beyond safe to drive on, costing £600 to buy/fit!

Only bought the car 2 months ago, which passed MOT the day I bought it - something tells me I bought it off an unreliable w@£%*&.... >:( :xxx: :cry:

Following up from doing the fronts, I spent the afternoon getting the rear up in the air and pulling the rear beakes apart, cleaning up and readjusted.

I also gave it a good poke with screwdriver, witch thankfuly from all the welding work i did a few years ago, mean i don't have any rot to worry about this time.

So Its just a wheel bearing i'm waiting to arrive and hope nothing stops working or drops off within the next two weeks, between now and the mot.

Flushed about 5 years of rusty water and coolant from the radiator making a huge mess but hopefully an improvement in performance
