Jon - in answer to your txt about spring fitting - Jon16v supplied the following wisdom a while back:

"jack the rear up as high as it will go, you can basically pull the springs out - keeping the two rubber parts that sit on top and below the spring.

the fronts a little harder.

wheel off, bonnet open jack up side.

Undo bolts securing strut and undo top mount, remove - use spring compressors on spring, completely remove top mount remove spring, uncompress - so easy "

BTW John mine were fitted by Price Right Motors, Pluogh Road, Wrockwardine Wood, Telford tel 01952 613355. Cost was £45. Not the poshest garage youll ever come across, but they took care of the car and knew their stuff.

Oh well, Ill wait and see what works out.

Bring it round to my place. Ill get a 24 pack of Stella, an adjustable spanner and a lump hammer. How hard can it be? What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Roamer]

Well, if I could find someone with a set of spring compressors I think we could do it between us matey, it reeally doesnt sound that hard all we need is them, the jack from the back of the car and a socket set

Cant be hard really, the backs sound dead easy, and the fronts would just take a bit longer.....
