Hi all, I've got water pooling up under my rear bench and having trouble locating where the water is getting in from. It looks like it's coming in from the c pillar, trickling down from the punch weld quite high up, moving along the carpet and then down under the rear bench. Problem is I can't...

Hi all, I've been working on a project car and put in some 172 Cup shocks and coil springs a while ago. Put the car in for an mot today and it failed on coils springs being lose and easily moveable. The springs do rotate when there's no weight on the spring but youve got to put in some effort...

Hi all, Recently bought new 172 cup shocks and springs.trying to fit today and from what I've read is a really easy job. Problem is the shock is sitting much lower then the hub bolts and not aligning up as I would expect. Is that normal? I can get them to align by fighting with the control arm...
