Today I put everything back together after my second parcel of goodies arrived!
The replacement suspension rod was perfect; an exact copy of the original and seems to be of good quality.
So, after putting everything back together and re-greasing it with some castrol LMM high pressure grease, I watched a ligarex how-to, wrapped the boot in cloth and set to work. How satisfying is ligarex!?! It's amazing!
Everything went together like a charm- and on rising to her feet again, there was no sound of a click at all! Success- arthritis cured!
The suspension boots were the Citroen ones and were fantastic as you'd expect, but the ball joint boot was the franzose one- it went on quite easily. I heated everything mildly with the heat gun first just to make it a bit more pliable but it fitted well and seems to be of good quality.
Time will tell!
I then gave Celia her 6 monthly oil change using castrol GTX 20w50 and a Purflux filter... All good for some more road tripping!
Tell you what- I don't think I've ever come across a worse car on which to perform an oil and filter change!
