So needed to do a few little things...

           



Essentially:

coolant loss/leak
brake fluid leak
gearbox oil leak
see if can find oil leak
horrific knock on NSF 

So I found leak, nipped up a jubilee for that.
Replaced section of brake line.
Removed drive shaft, cleaned shaft seal lip and replaced 'box seal for the THIRD time. (this time with a Febi one) Topped up with proper stuff.
Clean off back of sump to try and spot oil leak asap.
removed strut brace and "adjusted" (read: used a big grinder) the gap for the damper adjusters which look like they rubbing.
Stripped down NSF suspension strut, checked for damaged anything and play anywhere... replaced strut top mount and bearing (Used Febi/Bilstein parts)



Go for test drive feeling all happy and confident.....

Stop at end of road and "CLUNK"... pull away to "CLUNK CLONK CLUNK"... DAMN KNOCK IS STILL THERE!!!! 

Get back home... coolant STILL leaking and gearbox STILL leaking.

Whole bloody day taken off work to do all these little bits.... and I didn't even manage to do ALL the things I wanted and I STILL have a major suspension noise! 







Little annoyed right now.
