How much was the suspension mate if you don't mind me asking.
here was my shopping list

*07359 Strut Top Mount (In Stock) £22.04
*08431 Mount Spacer Sleeve (In Stock) £1.00
07299 Bumpstop, Front (In Stock) £2.90

VAT @ 17.5%: £5.70
Total: £38.29
From Volksworld in Preston
1 Pair LesJofer Springs £53 in vat
the damper strut in the pic (up) is the wrong one.
basically you want just an insert the damper and the leg com apart
the garage rang around and got a pair they were £75 inc vat
I think they are 'PNE3033 Bilstein B4 Front Damper Insert, VW Scirocco/Golf Mk1'
This uses the original strut leg.
So for parts £166

Just ordered my gear knob £28+Vat.. nice one Gav

just done all supension on mine and had a rattle noise after grrrr for A few hours then realised the hood wasnt clamping down enough at the front ( as i was driving along i could feel it move) adjusted the to chrome clamp hooks at the front and silent… have a look might be as simple as that
???
cheers, done all that.. its defo underneath, I had a look underneath before to check the bushes for the ARB I bought were the same and i could actually move my ARB slightly and so imagine under the weight of the car it will sound quite loud.
Its going in next week to have engine mounts done, might suprise him and ask him to fit the new ARB bushes too.

Maybe its missing the fitting kit for the pads.
Mine was rattling from the front when I bought it and it only had one off the metal clips fitted rather than two.

I'm pretty sure mine has aftermarket suspension as the back sits lower than the front.
I havent touch the back so presume it is all standard. All the bumpyness is coming from the front so not touching it yet.
markoggys GTi cabby is like that his sits really low at the back and he didnt do it either…
just bin out (in the rain) and measured… 340 front 350 rear N/S, and 340 front 340 rear O/S
never check that before. so now I know the back needs looking at at some point too

I have been looking through some pics on the net just now and there are a lot out there that sit lower on the rear so maybe that's how its meant to sit.

Could the rattling be the front brakes.

Done that too.. about a year ago, put up with that rattle for 3 years though, a tinny sound that goes when you brake

Engine mount kit
coolant flange
Also Anti roll bar bushes from vwspares.co.uk, anti roll bar out brackets from classic parts. discovered damage to the ARB and one of the brackets so got mi old pal funk-star to send me a ARB and a bracket. gud lad Mark :wink:
Its going in thursday to have the lot done.. All ready for our convoy to the NEC on saturday!
Think that will be it then until the new year! as my Vespa needs some TLC before it rots away into a pile of dust

If you update your interior with big norms and you have a good spare seat left over I may well be interested so I can sort out my tired drivers seat, no rush though.
