golf just failed its mot on the off side ball joint ,

lovely easy job and the parts only£12.

the tester reckond the car would be worth between £1,250 and £1,500
if I wanted to sell it ( which I don't)

the only advisory was very slight play in both rear wheel bearings.

I is one happy bunny (easily pleased I know)

The Blue Point (I think) version is long enough to do this and has a 1/2" drive square in it!

Crap, i work for flaming snap on, didnt realise they did one, could have just had that at 40% off list!!!!

I think it's Blue Point, but dont quote me on that, I could be mistaken, I'll ask down the garage, they have one, although I'm fucking sure it is...
