Well done.

Mine failed on both front strut bearings and both rear tie rods, have done the rear waiting for the rain to stop so I can do the front. Total cost for parts about £70.

Took it in Fri morn for the MOT and it passed with just a couple of advisories: surface corrosion to rear subframe and surface corrosion to front springs and that was it,he even remarked how good the Handbrake was for a 406. :D

Not looking too tidy now Eric,i left it at one of those "meet and greet" holiday car park places and they managed to mess up the paintwork on the N/S front wing which they deny doing.At 150k now it's starting to look a bit jaded round the edges,it's due a cambelt change and the rad fan has seized up and at £250 ish (1253E4) it'll all have to wait till after xmas.
