  5. Hello & welcome I can't really speak much for the diesel fozzys however the early ones have had glow plug issues, where they fail and end up snapping when being removed ! As for running costs main dealer prices will make you laugh or cry depending on the mood your in, the prices below are rough guide for independent garages Typically major service 350-400 cambelts around the same, Minor service 100-140 as for tyres I pay around 105 a corner on my tranny and around 110 each for the foz, although I'm on 16" wheels. Don't let the glow plug problem put you off just do loads of googling ☺

  8. steering rack bushes installed this evening Old/new comparison Initial test drive not much to report firmed up the 'dead centre' on the steering wheel and there's a bit more resistance on lock almost like having a slightly flat tyre. Read lots of horrible accounts of how hard this install is but looks like it applies to new shape cars, got underneath mine and it's as simple as undoing the four rack mounts, I would measure the width of the bush as there are two sizes, which it says late classics moved onto the 30mm width around 99 As you can see my97 car also uses the ksr202 30mm bush. Easiest install I found is to undo all 4 mount bolts and wiggle it loose, it will drop around 10mm. The n/s is easy just pull off the old bush and insert new one, The o/s is a bit trickier as there's no room either side of the rack to extract it, luckily the classics power steering lines don't interfere with the lowering of the rack and you can just pull the old bush down and out. The new one is obviously a bit harder to get in, after reading about people disconnecting the steering column I thought there has to be an easier way. If you lube up both sides of the bush with fairy liquid or some other lubricant that will dry, you can feed it straight back in the way it came out, so straight up and over the top of the rack, there's just enough room to make sure it all aligns up aboutlignst the front, then put brackets on and do up, found a torque spec of 44ftlbs so I've done it to that and I'll keep an eye on it
