  So the good news is ... I got the ball joints out, always an arse of a job, thankfully I already have special tools from that (edit: I forgot to type the good news lol, I got distracted by the bad news.) The bad news is I just noticed one of the boots on a track rod end has split, probably due to me moving things about so much. What is really really annoying is I had one in my Autodoc basket... they had a whole track rod assembly for 50 quid and I figured whilst I am in this deep I may as well get that done too. But I decided that was too much mission creep and backed out of it. I did have a vague hope I could get this job done this weekend and book an MOT next Wednesday... EuroCarParts has what it claims are compatible Starline track rod ends in stock locally which I could pick up tomorrow. Slightly irritating as it'll then cost £46.78 for the parts, versus getting and entire track rod assembly from Autodoc for £57.46
