Right, update:

Vaux wanted £60+ to fit the track rod end :!

I phoned my mate (who's a mechanic) for advise, and he said bring it down, I'll do it (for a pint!)

Tracking has just been done, and car has passed on the re-test :D

Damn Vauxhall £38 for a track rod end :mad:

piece of piss... jack up, wheel off, adjustable spanner, off and on (keep an eye on what thread the old one was screwer up to, i'd recommend using a bit of tape.) The hardest bit in my opinion is getting the end out of the fitting it sits in, unscrewing it is a piece of piss.

once you're done, go to the garage and get the tracking done. ;)

My car just failed it's MOT on the drivers side Track Rod End

I have bought a new one from Vaux, and have a Haynes handy, how hard is this to change?

I know I need to have the tracking re-done afterwards, but is this a job I can do myself?

Cheers! Jon
