Good news... Hope the Shuttle survives the same way!

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.
Epic failure that one. Drove very slowly on way home.

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.

Mines just failed on corrosion and I got no money to fix it

No worres Craig. I'd got LOTS of spare top arms now as it happens

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