Bulbs & tyres arent a problem are they, probably going to need a new strut top kit, not bad to do at all on a clio, not sure on the cost though bud!!

1.6MM over the centre three quarters of the tread!!! what bulbs?

 

[Bowen]

[SBV116]

[SBV116]

Failing on silvervisions? As long as they flash orange there isnt a problem with them. Just whack some steelies or something on for your mot mate

 

[Bowen]

i should have now i think of it, are well you live and learn

I've heard of the top mounts wearing a bit not that common but with coilovers it can wear them a bit.

Rare for them to fail they do wear though thats all.

 

[DrR]

^^ how do you tell they have worn?

 

[Josh@Renparts]

someone else on here had a prob witht the top mount.. turned out the strut top had loosened itself and just needed tightening up. are they real silvervisions? as i thought they were legal? motorworld ones are illegal though....
