so update time,
well I was getting worried about the play in the steering as it felt dangerous imo, and I was dreading having to change the steering rack again, however when I looked under the dash just to confirm the rack I was surprised to find alot of play at where the UJ joins the column, so looking into it more there wasn't any space for adjustment, so i figured I'd simply zap it up with the mig! which wasn't so easy in the space under the dash, however it went well and the steering feels tight and amazing 
so mega happy times...
then yesterday i set about changing my front lower rear arm bushes for the kind which increase the castor, which in turn keeps the wheels straightened while moving along, the faster your going the better it works, so on the motorway it will go straight all day long untill a bend simply appears, the only down side is that the P/S has to work a little harder....
new vs old, castor bush one thats off set....
and obviously retracked up the car which i done with my new gauge which is called trackace and it brilliant for someone to check etc, i found it much better than the dunlop gauqages we use at work!
and finally today i fitted my cup holder from Peter which is great, been on the hunt for a suitable one to bodge in for ages!
also fitted the crotch vent, which isnt really needed but just one of those little things im sure ill like in the winter when im freezing my bollocks off! lol
more to come later, as im going to service and swap my new wheels on for now before being refubed as they have decent tyres!
