All bushes on rear axle trailing arms are showing signs of wear.

Both front torsion bars look as if they have been replaced recently, instead of being bolted on the front ends have been welded, as they are stressed components the heat from welding may have caused them to go brittle and they may snap.

Both front tyres are wearing on the inner edges & are close to the limit.

Bushes in front suspension are showing some signs of wear.

Exhaust system is heavily corroded.

Extensive corrosion underneath.

Front brake pads look quite low.

There is a coolant leak from the engine, possibly the water pump, but further investigation is recommended.

There is some movement in the o/s lower ball joint, unable to fully assess how much play because of the excessive movement allowed by the top ball joint.

There is some play in the ball joint on the n/s linkage on the rear anti roll bar.

Various metal brake and fuel pipes corroding.

Where the front torsion bars have been welded on they may also have caused heat damage to the front suspension arms, recommend these are replaced the same time as the torsion bars.
