160,000 Miles

Here is a list of things that need doing:

Most urgently

• Tyres - Front tyres need replacing desperately. Problem... they are metric sizes and therefore difficult to replace. Still searching for replacement imperial wheels.
• Control Arms - Front control arms are knocking badly and am getting wobbly shaking problems at speed/braking, all due to this.

Not so urgent

• Heater - the heater blows hot air only after about 30 mins driving. Need to check, control panel, vent under dash, possible vacuum line from vent, control valves.
• Wheel bearings - I suspect there maybe be at least one worn wheel bearing as I get a lot of 'worn bearing' sounding noises that vary with road speed. Want to change control arms first.
• Replace boot gas struts. Already removed the glass only ones, as they were useless, but may as well replace whole boot lid struts too. Need a cheap supplier and some money!
• Few spots of rust appearing - nip in bud.
• Oil/filter change

Other than that it is still a fantastic car, love driving it, although the control arms are spoiling the experience at the mo.
