Can't see any problem Dave, it's more a case of pinning people down cos a lot of us are married with kids!

Location... and the weather! I doubt anyone would want to spend their day lying on a car park (something I may be able to gain access to) floor getting drenched!
Having said that, I'd swap some suspension work or maybe a cambelt change for my D8 electrical diagnostics skills ;)

I'd be surprised if the majority of us didn't know some trick or shortcut the rest would find useful.

Strut bearings. Could probably do with the dampers/springs replacing too. I'm just scared shitless of the thought of decapitating myselfteamster1975 wrote:What's up with the suspension Matt? I know my way around it pretty well now front & rear!

Well if this comes off I'll do your strut bearings with you, it'll cost you a couple of pints
