Default split city

I knew it! i JUST knew it....... MOT a coming up..car starts acting the goat. Every damn time and every car i've owned

Taking a gentle pootle into town notice a whole new peculiar creaky groany noise.....hmmmmmm, abandon shopping trip (making me very popular i can assure you) and whizz it up on jacks and oh joy, 1 very recently dead cv boot (still got some grease in the joint and back part of boot so its recent), 3 tonnes of cv grease on every surface you can imagine and a few you can't and 1 crippled '8. SON OF A ............

New boot from factors £10, easy peasy, but the hub nut is a stretch bolt and shouldn't be reused apparently, audi don't have them (why would they!?) so its delayed till tuesday at 8 squids plus osbornes share. Damn, blast, curse....etc etc and then its convincing the bottom arms to let go.....i could be at this for some time i hate the run up to MOT time.

(i'm almost tempted to use a sticky boot as an emergncy get me moving option. almost)
