You can find the part numbers on this diagram. Hope it helps.

I reckon I may have found a big part of the issue. Removed the panhard rod and the bushes are completely degraded after only a few months so those will be getting replaced as will the radius arm bushes just to be sure

Some Bosch pumps have a small filter on them. Can’t remember exactly where, but it’s hiding under a bolt (if present). Worth exploring. Sounds fuel related.

Checked the lift pump when I took it out the box and it's nice and strong, great suck and blow action which is what I like. The fuel lines are larger than standard, I replaced them all years ago. I might replace the fuel filter again and stick a...

I’d be looking for a faulty lift pump (even from new) or an obstruction in the fuel line somewhere (possibly even within the lift pump).

No bearing movement on it at all and swivels are all good

Jack up the n/s/f wheel and check for bearing and/or swivel pin play.

I'll have a look at it tonight then. One of the steering UJs is newish, the other is probably original.

I had replaced the damper ages ago to try and solve the problem but no difference

I’d say N/S preload, followed by steering shaft UJs. Maybe both.

Fix the other side, new top pin and bush if there is any side to side movement at the top of the swivel housing. In this case just removing shims will only improve things for a bit.

I have repaired similar using CT1 to stick on some aluminium backing plates and then body filler to finish.

Looking at it...being in the last third of my life and wanting to enjoy myself...what made me think trying to recover this ferrous mess was a good use of my time? Sanity check over and thank you!
