Thanks Doug. That's somewhat reassuring. That was my first thought: "Oh, no problem, I can do that!". But then I realised that the two halves of the tie rod are way out of line. I'm doubtful that a new one would actually line up - so I think that alignment needs to be checked. Admittedly I couldn't tell that anything was wrong whilst driving it home: but I'm feeling "rather safe than sorry" at the moment. We'll see!

Then all the fun of trying to make a claim against DCC. I have all the evidence I should need, both photographic and data from their own "pothole database" etc. I could just do without the hassle!
