Welcome to OOF
Ouch! That around brackers? I've noticed the roads round Northants have gone from rather awful to an absolute joke recently.

Heavy cars are tough on suspension components, especially if driven hard, but you won't necessarily feel it from the driver's seat as 2.5t and a decent wheelbase make for a surprisingly stable ride inspite of worn out parts...Other thing you might find is that an arm/link has moved out of place on a bush. Also, if aluminium, check for distortion and cracks.

Also, if aluminium, check for distortion and cracks.I think you'll find its the same weight as an Omega .But it probably needs bushes checking. Its been a while since its last inspection, where I polybushed a couple.

Lighter than I thought... Favourite luxo barge tips the scales at a most panzer like 2,190 kgs
