Daft question. Is there a technique for replacing the wishbone?<br>
<br>
Assuming that I whack it with a hammer, wondered if that was wise.

How do I remove the lower wishbone from the steering arm? Removed the nut securing the two parts together, but still not clear how the wishbone comes off. <br>

Trying to remove the front wishbones to replace the bushes but hampered by a couple of seized bolts. Have tried spraying wd40 & leaving overnight, but not worked. Would appreciate any advice ie good known penetrating oils or any other methods for easing these bolts loose. <br>

This bevel device is loose, not lining up straight & doesn't return fully when the throttle pedal is released. Is there any way of ...

If I start the car up & leave it running in the garage until it is warmed up, it happily idles & stays at 1000 revs<br>
<br>
Once out on the road after a few miles, every time I de-clutch or stop the engine idles at around 2000 revs. A quick blast on the accelerator will knock the car down to 1000 ...

I have a major oil leak from the gearbox on my sprint. A gasket or seal probably needs replacing, & the car gudders in first gear, so I assume some of the oil has leaked onto the clutch.<br>
<br>
Has anybody experience of resolving this problem & how much would I expect a garage to charge me ?
