Still got 9 months MOT.
Forgot to mention rear sub-frame bushes showing signs of wear as well.
At my age I'm fed up of rolling around on the floor. Lots of sucking of teeth by my local mechhy. |

| Not much in 11 years of ownership but about to spend between 1 and 2 grand on sills and wheel arch repairs. Mustn't grumble. |

Found this to be interesting. I'm guessing that the one on my SC is the controlled variant.
