My front passenger side is being done along with all ARB stirrups soon as they arrive from LR... on back order as there have been a few needing replacing apparently.

I had the bushings done on my lower control arms up front, but that's it.
Had my ball joints done about 6 months ago, I noticed the noise when I was reversing out of my drive and on full lock. It has been ok since having them done.
I just got a call from the main dealer - during the service they found both track rod ends were worn with excessive play, but the MOT was only done (by the same dealer) in January and it passed, with the only advisory that the steering rack had slight wear at one end. Does this sound like a case of drumming up extra income? What would the symptoms be if they were badly worn, as I've not noticed anything when driving. The steering seems precise and doesn't wander at all, and the tyre wear is even. They also advised that the clutch pedal needed calibrating (adjusting?) from about £25 and a sidelight bulb needed changing for 60 p! I went ahead with those, as I'm not that tight
Also EGR valve faults were logged, but as I just blanked those I told her not to worry which really confused her! No doubt every fault from now on will be blamed on the blanked EGRs!Previously:
