True think it was the drive down the m.o.t Station that made the decision, ordered the 2 wishbone arms as I'll change both, jobs for today will change the plates over, and put the dash camera on 

I'll look forward to seeing pics of it out on the road 🙂

Well got the control arms went to put them on wrong ones there too big 14mm was correct just too wide to fit in the hole on the v part the 8K0407695C item number don't come up on there system, the part number you need is ss2721 left side and ss2722 for the right side, not sure if the other ones are for the a5 can't get my money back as I put them on the car but thay did me a deal on the correct ones so if these fit your car just 50.00 I payd 130.00

Edward, I see the skill of rebuilding engines has not died then, used to do this when I first started driving. I presume your one of my generation or near. 

Keep up the good work. 

Did the engine come out the bonnet or drop through the bottom, plus it will be a big lump as well,  being  a 4.2. 

I saw a 4 litre Vauxhall the other day, straight 4 with decompression !Removed! for hand starting. Looked a very simple engine but another big lump. Open all !Removed!, swing her tound on the handle , then get an assistant to shut 2&3 !Removed! and it will fire , then shut the other two. 1920, chap was taking it down to Le Mans from Berkshire. No front brakes , just rear rod brakes or drive it in the ditch for plan B.
