I got bits off here from people upgrading to coilovers/with spares left over. Cheap and sorted, the rest of the car is still a nuisance though ;)

cheers chaps,ive done the rear wheel bearings now and 4 new shocks on the way,there was a new steering rack fitted last year and the garage left the bottom engine mount loose!!!! so its been hanging bad on the 3 others and will have to replace them as well,something on the right hand side makes a crunchy noise on the move so will have to investigate. how can i tell what bhp its got ,has a twin staged butterfly in the throttle neck…'
