    Try lubricating the steering joint at the end of the steering column, known problem to cause iffy steering, cheap and easy to do.

    I think proximal bids are the best way forward to much time spent going to auction and it's a level bid as in you don't get caught in the moment of auction battle bidding if you get clear photos of car do all your checks can't see the point of spending a whole day at auction

    If I was to own a disco, it would have to be dark green, but it does look good with silver and black. They seem popular as camera cars for tv shows and a couple of car UA-camrs, youse them as camera cars. Looked great in the showroom. Great video and content as always ♥

    If you wasn’t in the car trade but you had heard about the disco 4 issues do you think you would take a 12k risk & buy one? I only ask because I’m looking at them & that’s the position I’m in at the moment. Keep up with the brilliant content 👍🏻
