Did wishbones last week, got an Idler arm to do as well.... MOT expired!!
Dust covers are shot to hell and fell off!
Only doing fronts for the moment (payday next week ish so might do more then).
Lots of speedbumps around here...
B4's may have an order lead on them, you might have fun getting them by the end of the week - give them a ring, the chap i spoke to couldn't have been more helpful.

I just ordered online, free shipping.   ;)

The part number for the dust covers should be ASP-C245.  Maybe someone has some used ones lying about?

Just got an email from the chap - nice guy, mentioned something about a forum... :y

I need all the parts at once - the part number is ok, its just its not on the website (nor has a price), so no online order (yet),  so I'm got to going to hang on for the boots!

Would these shocks be ok for the back of my Elite Estate which I tow the caravan with or am I better sticking with the self levelling ones.

I would stick with the self levelling ones.  The last thing you want on an estate is the back end drooping down so that you can't see out of the center mirror.

You want my old ones?   :P  You could mount them next to Bilsteins.  The air levelling works great, and they won't affect the damping at all.   ::)
