on my headlights and my ball joints/bushes.

The headlights are aftermarket and they are aiming too high so i had to buy retainer clips/brackets from Vauxhall which set me back a massive 54p!!!

Bought 2 new ball joints and front and left side bushes for £67. Is it hard to fit the bushes and ball joints? The guy who did my MOT said its literally 4 bolts and if i managed to upgrade the brakes and suspension on my own then this shouldnt be a problem.

Bring on sunday so i can fit everything, then its the re-test monday

Whats troublesome about the bushes? Balljoints are just a couple of bolts arent they? Sounds easy.

i just did all the bushes on my corsa, the front tie bar ones are an arse as are the front leg ones,

needed a press to get them out, i fitted powerfles bushes, they go in much easier than the standard ones.

Or at least i think its the bushes! Its like a metal arm thing with a rubber hole at one end and a couple of holes the other end. I just showed the guy my MOT and he supplied the parts.
