Tok the shuttle for an MOT after it had stood for a year the top ball joint on the front arm broke on the way to the MOT station, as I turned in and over some potholes. Water ingress.

Don't say that! Driven my Shuttle around off road at the workshop so hopefully nothing like that will happen! I will have someone in front and behind me on the way to the test station too safety in numbers

I should probably add that I did spend a few months fixing/replacing a few parts ready for it
Although it still ran ok on 3 year old petrol
I was pretty worried about all the suspension bushes tbh.

Dont bodge with FG if you're planning on keeping it. Save, wait and get it done properly.
