Xtremeteam:
make sure all the electrics work ,also check the front shocker bottom bushes are either new or ok as they are starting to become common for goin (done 3 discos so far this week) & its a press in & out job (8tons to move them) :lol:
check the tre's as if the crimped ends are away you have to replace the complete bar,also make sure the abs works & no warning lamps are lit,if the abs & hill decent & traction control lamps are all on & stay on after goin above 15mph a abs sensor is away & at the mo u cant buy them seperatly,can only get a hub complete(£200) any more i can think off ill post

DIE BOK:
Neil you have a pm :wink:

Xtremeteam:
if its a poor starter chech the fuel filter head for foost as they corrode between the ada[ters & head so cause air to be drawn in when starting although shouldnt b happening on an 02 car,when oon the test drive go side to side HARD (left to right) to get the car to sway & if it clunks it could be either the rear watts linkage bushes ore the rear arb d bushes,d bushes are cheap to repalce but the watts linkage bushes conme to over £100 for 5 bushes  :shock:
