> The time has come to look round MXI 4811 for an MOT, An MOT tester has looked round the car an found only one thing that it would fail on, and that the steering joints (both lower and upper), the two below the steering column. these UJ`s have alot of movement (THE CAR FAILED AN MOT IN 98 WHEN THETY WERE TOO TIGHT ! ). Just wondered if any one knows if they are DMC special or are they off something else too.....

Well I could not find any though the bottom joint has a British Layland stamp and the top is very much like a TR7 but about an inch too short. There is a company called Robsport International in Royston Herts who said they can get them repaired (01763 848673)

Otherwise you are looking at $400 for the pair from DMCH or Specialty Automotive sell 'Replacement Steering Shaft and U-Joints' for $240
