As the title suggests i've sold the Clio for a log burner, I needed something better on the mpg. Ill miss that car, took it around Brands a couple of times, upsetting more expensive cars. Car was sold to a dealership in Enfield (outskirts of London), keep an eye out for it. GX04 DZF And just a...

I will be yes. Feels so much better than before, the used to follow all the holes a dips in the road. The old dampers didn't show any signs of leaks

Well today I did it, non cup car now running cup dampers. Just increased the length of the top holes to fit.

Evening all, Firstly sorry if this has been asked before but I am at my wits end with my car tonight. Managed to get the old damper off very easily, but when trying to replace the new one I just can't get it to fit to put the bolts through. I've tried jacking up the hub and spring compressors...

Mine in Rover Stone Grey

Mine was doing something similar a while ago. It would click and not turn over. I replaced the crack sensor and no issues since, it was only £18 from an auto factors.

Mine. Rover Stone Grey
