Had to get a torch on the nuts but eventually undone.
New gaiters won’t fit. Old gaiters are knackered.
Genuinely f d off with it now.
The only way it’ll be worth it is if I can get what I paid for it. I know I won’t get the couple of grand back I’ve had to spend to get it drivable but it’s just creasing me, I’ve been at it for 4 months now, on a car I bought because I didn’t want one that needed work.

Wow, four months! I feel your pain Tim.
It's a strange one, I would rather buy at less cost and be prepared to put the work/£ in to get it to a standard I would be happy with, I think I know what your train of thought was when buying, but I don't think such a car, any car this old exists that won't need something doing to it, granted the work you are having to do is disproportionate to what you thought you were buying, I would be pretty upset myself to be fair, especially with the dealer.
Thanks
In the last three years I’ve had cars made in 2006, 2004, 2002, 1998 and 1995. All have which have travelled further in a week than this has done in the time I’ve had it. I’ve been to Broadway and back, Hereford and back and twice round the block to see if I’ve fixed the leak.
Why didn't you just buy the correct ones in the first placeLocal motor factors. Been down with an old one and swapped for ones that fit.

I didn’t think a dealer could sell a car to a private buyer without a warranty........ some consumer goods act thingy.......I didn’t opt out of anything, no warranty given due to the age of the car.
