As the Shaft is coming out again consider changing g/Box oil and new seal?

The penny has just dropped it's done my head in wondering how he smashed it this is what I think. He couldn't get the hub nut off maybe didn't have the the spline socket so he just pulled the cv boot off the pot and pulled hub back that way but when you do that one of those bearing things could definitely easily have dropped intothe cv boot with out him or her you never know noticing very possible as the grease would have stopped it falling out then when it's been reassembled it's been eventually chewed up thats my opinion otherwise I don't think they can come off

I agree with TonyHSD and think the quallity of the tyres probably are more important than just size. I swaped my orginal 225/45/17 91W Dunlop Sport Fastresponce ( E rolling resistance B wetgrip 69 sound in EU marking) on my Auris TS HSD 2014 for some used 205/55/16 91W (F rolling resistance C wetgrip 71 sound ) cause I was convinced that it would be better for fuel consumption and (ride) comfort but... there wasnt that big difference in neither fuelconsumption nor comfort. Now I bought some new 205/55/16 94 XL GoodYear Efficient Grip Performance and hope for some improvement in both fuelconsumpion and comfort. Have just driven them some 10km yet though

You never know if some of these so called mechanic are any good I have seen this happen before but was mechanics fault and he openly admitted it but he realised before customer collected the car but he had had the pot end off

Now I see, in that case a block heater may be a good idea just for the saving on fuel.

Hi and welcome . You can’t change to 15” wheels because of the front brakes callipers size, smallest possible size that you can fit is 205/55 R16 , but in my opinion don’t change anything, just get quality tyres that are rated for low rolling resistance and quiet , Good Year Efficient Grip Performance are good example or Kumho Ecsta HS51 if you are on a budget, and most importantly is to keep them to the right pressures, not much above or below max allowed .

It seems like a big coincidence that you've just had the wishbone done? Just a thought.

This is correct

Hi Michael. As a rule the nut and split pin are on the top so it looks fine to me. Michael.

Hello,, thank you x Thanks Frostyballs 🙂

It's not the fuses, it's the wiring to the LEDs or the LEDs themselves. I took the cluster off and refitted. All went well for a while then stopped again. It got through mot without a problem though. Unless your expert with a soldering iron I would choose replacing the cluster. FIRST I would recommend removing it then checking all connectors etc as it could be a loose block at the back. All you will need is a Phillips screwdriver and 10mm socket and PATIENCE. Good luck.

In fact I would just get a used shaft anyway

Yes I think so but have a look 1st because could have caused more damage if it has I would just get a shaft from breakers at the end of the day it's not that bad hope you get sorted good luck

My pack of 10x 3MM black vinyl cap ends have turned up. They will block off Vac ports on the carb and manifold, nice and neat... 2sav
