    Things not looking good...

    What about eurocarparts, there's are 75.99, cannot see them listed on RPD? What about top mounts, will I get away with non genuine? Just feel a bit sick tonight, already spent nearly 3k on it as it stands..

    Tried both methods, it was because the allen key hole had rounded in the thread. Sorted with the angle grinder straight through the spring and piston then put the left over piston in the vice and got the nut off with a big breaker bar.

    Clio 200 suspension on a 197

    Ok so I managed to bag myself some shocks and springs from a 200 Cup and the seller said they were the larger top mounts and would fit the 197 so I could do with someone telling me if they look about right? Also I notice it looks like a nylon ring has broken away on the bump stop (if that is...

    Ok I managed to set this up and gave it a try when driving over to Pav,s to collect some bonnet insulation, works well, couldn't quite get it up to 7000rpm due to traffic constraints but around the 5500-6000 rpm it was reading 180bhp so not to bad, I made a bracket for an old Samsung tablet and...
