Fitted:
-OSF Lower arm & balljoint
-OSF CV Gaiter
-NSF Brake pipe
-New windscreen wipers
-Fixed wiper washer, pipe had broken and been taped up
-Got a 2nd hand brake caliper coming for the OSF as its seized and probably easier just to change it.

not sure how much longer my engine will last, sounds quite slappy/knocky these days and beginning to think its more than just the chains
