Thanks for the help Tony, will check out the balljoints, but I don't think the symptoms are as severe as you describe for the top mounts cracking, but I might well drop the strut anyway, particularly if I'm going to renew the suspension arm bushes, as I think I will do. Even if it doesn't need renewing immediately, its another fix saved for the future while I don't need to catch pneumonia whilst crawling around underneath it :)

I think you're the only one who spotted the axle thing. We've got a 340 with the rear offside wheel massively toe'd in, about 3 degrees, which I think is loads, but the car drives OK, so I've not opened that can of worms:)

PS:
Coo Why's the text font changed? Maybe Bob's been at the settings :)

Any thoughts on the dipstick thing?
