   The Vtr failed it's m.o.t on the 'radius arm having too much play in the pin/bearing'.
   
   anyone know what the radius arm is, how much a new one would cost, how easy it is to get out/take off and replace?
   
   any help will be repped

   yes, you need to replace BOTH the stubb pin and bearings. you can get the bearings from citroen which are about £70 with the seals.stubb pin you will either need a new beam from citroen (£450ish) or i can supply the pin (get them made up specially) for £80 + delivery which you will need to press in.

   cool mate, cheers for the info.
   
   If the bearings have gone but not the pin or the other way round, do I still have to replace both parts?
   
   also if i have to replace both, do i have to take off/out the radius arm? or can i do it while its still on the car?
