Hi and welcome  :y

How come it needs TRE's? Lots of free play? Ball joints damaged? Out of interest :)

See ''Common Issues'' section to learn all about this wonderful motor  :y

It failed the mo.t on the offside track rod end and when I jacked it up hes done the nearside and not done the offside I was thinking if he put the r on the near side instead of putting it on the offside would that make a big diffrence and hasnt took it for tracking but I brought a new set today both new fronts outer and inner track rod ends then il take it for tracking then go from there needs 2 front tyres as hes said hes been driving it like it since a year as it was a advisory on last m.ot. for the sack if 27 pound could of saved 2 tyres at 50 each.  :-\
