My newly acquired MX5 has coilover suspension that is 6 months old, as fitted by the previous owner.
I noticed yesterday that there is quite a bit of rust on the spring adjustment thread.
So I contacted the previous owner who told me where he bought the parts from.
The reply from the trader was: The rust is only surface rust and will easily come off with a WD40 and a wire brush. Also that the warranty provided is only for the original buyer. The trader seems pleasant enough and has offered further help should I need it, but he's not offering me a replacement or to clean the parts himself, so I'm not sure what help he's really offering me.
Do I need to just take this on the chin and get cleaning or is there another course of action?
Thanks.
