Harsh mate. I remember my black clio getting done all over the bonnet and wing. Felt sick when i saw it :( Just be happy knowing the r****d responsible will get his/her comeuppance in another form. Stanley blade across their face. karma's a b**ch
I prefered my 172 to what i've got now. there more stealthy :) The spare wheel was useful, although I carry a full size spare as apposed to tyre foam , which fills the boot! Be happy :-)
I replaced my battery last week.

The same battery was £80ish from my local car shop, £53 delivered from there^
PM'd him mate, just waiting for a reply. Can i remove that top nut despite the allen key slot being useless? I.e just keep turning anti-clockwise, or will it muck the shock up? My spring has snapped so i need to change that, and the mount
Drill it out you think? Would removing the strut leg effect the geometry/ tracking of the wheels? In which case i may aswel get a garage to do the work.
I was told there is excessive play in the bearing. THe rubber top piece visable has a part number on it, i am trying to take that off to find the bearing. Or am i being stupid and the whole black rubber piece includes the bearing? :S
I think the damper is OK, i'm waiting for birchdown to get me a part number for a coil spring and a strut top mount. (Birchdown were not the company in question, lol)
Anyone got second hand springs?
Hi Cs
Ok, just got back from travels and trying to get my car road worthy again. The clio had an MOT this morning and failed on the following:
FAIL:
-Offside front (broken) Coil spring (I have standard springs and suspension)
OTHER Advisory Items:
-Offside rear position lamp...
