Well today I started the day going to replace all four coil springs and shocks along with front discs and pads. Started at 10am and just finished the Front suspension and brakes. I'm knackered,hungry and thirsty for Carling. Got the rears to do tomorrow so much for a lazy Easter Sunday :Cry:

You'll be glad to know that the rears are a lot simpler than the fronts

Yeah I am glad to know that lol They do look easier plus I've soaked every thing in release oil so hopefully nuts come off easy(probably not) :lol:

I used to have some but got nicked at work. A decent sharp chisel is a useful tool

I hope so. Probably took as long as it did because had to do discs and pads and a wheel bearing just as the cherry on top :lol:

Thanks Toms3

Yeah can't beat some shine new bits Marmaduke.

Made one small tiny little insignificant error yesterday when doing the front wheel bearing kind of never tightened lock nut up correctly! Outcome severe wobble:crazy_driver:
But once that was sorted everything is good and no more sea sickness going over bumps old dampers where totally fecked
