Muppets indeed. Would be nice to resolve before the next track session. Gets the twitcher going when you go for the middle pedal and it isn't where it normally is! Especially frustrating when the PF brakes are so good.

Could try a couple of fresh bearings in the front, but not convinced it's a permanent solution. Have found somebody who has swapped the bigger hubs onto an 04. Think the money would be better put towards a Spec-C though.

at least with the bigger hubs the wheels seem to be cheaper on the second hand market

cheers

Different front hub means different strut or coilover. Don't think it'd be the cheaper option!

I have two spare front struts Martin if you need them.

Cheers Dunk, I may come back to you on those.

Off to NZ for 1-2 months, going to have a think about what to do with the car. I would really like to resolve:

- Wheel bearing/Pad knock off
- Oil temp and breathers
- Front end grip
- Wheels and tyres
- Fuel starvation below 1/2 tank

Will do the maths and see what makes the most sense. It seems that my list has all been resolved on a Spec C. Plus all the other benefits. I don't like to impulse buy or spend what I don't have so will think it through.

Dunk, on a plus note, my new ARB bushes should be with me tomorrow. Will be in touch if all is good.
