Just back from the MOT centre....
« on: 05 May 2009, 12:53:10 »
... with the Elite estate and a failure sheet  :( :'(

NSR self leveling shock leaking (and I mean it was soaked!!) and an insercure exhaust mounting point (2 U-bolts holding the back box to the centre sections are just about holding themselves together!). Just a couple of tyres on the advisory sheet so not too bad. Loo-Knee expect a PM matey ;D ;D

I've got one as I didn't bother fitting a second hand pair, just the one with the air leak.

Unfortunately they're gas shocks, not self levelling. They'll do the job but won't be "as standard" and wont connect to the pump :y :y :y

It's looking like I'll be fitting gas shocks for the moment as there is no way I can afford a new pair of self-levellers atm :'(
