Good skills Gareth, you will now be equipped for another 160k by which time we will all be past caring and if still driving it will be a golf buggy and have Greta Thunberg as a pin up, those that cant afford a £50,000 reasonably priced Audi all electric will have to content themselves with magazines like What Cart and Classic Pony even practical Cart owner, which will show you how to grease up wooden stub axles and replace timber sides on your pony and trap. Steve.

Hi Steve The Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel is very good. Very powerful but wouldn't win a GP. Very spacious and on long journeys is a good comfortable drive. The e-Tron I think is a whole different ball game. But electric does give you the sense of power. The Renault Zoe 0-30 has the same torque as a Porsche 911 with no gear changes.

That's brilliant 🤣 and totally agree, cars in general bare just increasing in price. They want us in electric cars/hybrid but the prices are unachievable to most. Either way ill be running my a6 untill I'm not legally allowed to

Like it Steve! I’ve already got cars older than me - now that takes some believing - but true, so I can carry on with mild tinkering in my dotage. Great! Many thanks again Steve, and kind regards, Gareth.

Many thanks for the contributions. Just to close off this thread, I’ve opted for Lemforder arms - one has already arrived and looks very well constructed - and Febi ball joints, since I feel that after 160k +, the originals warrant changing. Kind regards, Gareth.

That's madness, allegedly there's an issue with getting computer chips for some manufacturers. This might have been one reason for a delay.
