I was about to say - if it involves lifts or an inspection bay, you can bloody well do one.

What's the matter? Can't jack your car up like the rest of us? Lazy beggar...

Okay so,

I just ran out there and jacked it up and checked for play Top to bottom / laterally and none what so ever.

Does that help narrow it down? Guess it’s not the CV outer or the ball joint...

Ok is there any movement in the engine can you move it at all
Do you get any other noises when driving? Or is it just set off when you get that noise

Minimal movement in my engine, compared to my friends inch of movement on their polo engine when rocking it by hand.

Just when braking when coming to a halt and when slowly pulling off, i have some audio if it helps in gridlock traffic so pulling off>stopping>repeat.

Its also pretty clonky on that side too, but i feel like that might be a seperate gremlin.

Going to be sorting my brake master cylinder soon - can anyone confirm that the size flare spanner I need for the brake lines is 11mm? I went out to check on the car and for some unknown reason, my spanner set jumps from 10mm (which was too small) to 13mm (which was too big) so couldn't make sure.

While I'm at it, I'm thinking about changing my brake lines to braided hoses. Is it worth it? If I'm going to be bleeding the system anyway, it's something I may as well do all at the same time. The existing lines are fifteen years and 160k miles old, and if it actually improves braking, so much the better...

If I rebuild master cylinders on something milder always worth some new lines. Last thing you want is an old one to collapse when you’re out and about. Happened to me on a motorcycle. Now she’s got braided lines.

Any brands that you recommend? Looking around, it doesn't look like I've got that much choice when it comes to the diesel FR, but I'm (probably stupidly) thinking they're a fairly standard item?
 
Braided lines? Can’t remember the brand I used on my bike but my old focus had HEL on I think. Good quality at an ok price

So braided lines offer anything other than extra security? I’ve seen people say they improve brake performance etc
