General I can't open my fuel filler flap!

When I rock the car by pushing on the top of the door frame either side, I can hear the clicking sound coming from the front wheels. So yeah, drop links need replacing. Oh well, at least it s a cheap job.

its a cheap job and can be done in an afternoon. be warned i had to use two jacks on the drivers side, although a jack and an axle stand will work

Paid £30 to have it done by my local mechanic in the end. The bottom nut was an absolute pig to remove, he had to take an angle grinder to it in the end. Rattles all gone now! :slayer: Total cost ~£60 so not too bad.

The previous owner had replaced only one of the drop links (and the track rod end on the same side by the looks of it) but not the other so I had both done to save any future hassle.
