Rears on the BMW are £650 a pair and fronts are £445. Ask me how I know LOL.

Put the Monsit through an 'up and over' car wash while I munched an ALDI egg and bacon sarnie.  >:D

Took V70 for M.o.T. it failed :'( Fortunately it was only on a broken rear spring so as soon as the new ones arrive [although only one is broken I'm replacing both as it's stupid not to]it'll be a case of getting out and under to fit those.

Should be as simple as undoing the shock and a bit of heaving ;)
Onanists always think outside the box.

Yes to undoing the damper from the  trailing arm,however there is a nut under the trailing arm which holds the lower spring mounting and the "bolt" that this screws onto has a tendency to spin when undoing the nut Volvo in their wisdom gave this "bolt" a round flat head [rather like a rivet]making it hard to get a decent grip on especially as it's in the centre of the spring coils.

Give it a damn good spaying before you start, let it soak a bit patience is concentrated strength👍

Noticed that the headlights ( plastic covered area) on the RRS were starting to show their age & getting cloudy, I had some plastic/acrylic restorer in the garage that I use on the caravan windows so gave it a go & a fantastic result lights look like new again.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

Not a lot, spent the day cleaning/sorting out the unit. Part 2 tomorrow ::)

Not mine hers, given the old faithful Subaru a thorough cleaning & polish & it's gleaming ideal day for it today 👍
