Don't be fooled - Lily's has an air con centre console (buttons for air con & air recirculation). They aren't connected to anything

Tie rods are a cnut on any car after they have been on there a few years and seen a few british winters..

There isnt very much on the back joint to grip on to with a spanner lol.
