That is true and i suppose one way of looking at it, i feel if i gave up with it over the sake of £100 - £200 and bought another i could end up back at square one, its very frustrating when you replace 5 parts to iron out 1 faulty part, then a week down the line something else breaks !

Touch wood, replacing that wishbone has cured majority of that nasty clunking on the steering, though there is a small amount still there where it jerks its not as vicious as it was before.

Just the blowing exhaust and the knocking from the drivers footwell area to sort out next ! Thanks
