You fitted yours yet Howard?

Need to do my rears for next MOT - still on original 14 year old shocks which are now weeping slightly.... Bah just cant get anything to last nowadays

 

[Howard]

No , not yet....

Will and i were going to do them, but Colin Ferns said he would do them as we needed spring compressors, he said it was dangerous to do them without but no date yet....

Also feeling just a little satisfied - nay even smug

1988 W124 estate "failed" its MOT the mixture needed tweeking ,

Not bad - after all these years !! :bannana: I might even wash it.

I'm tempted into looking around for a "timewarp" specimen with one proviso it has to have a 6 cyl engine my 4cyls a bit asthmatic.

Why is it dangerous to do them without compressors, the weight of the car will hold the spring in place.

Ermm - that's what I would have thought as well!!

Howard - I've not needed spring compressors on either the rear of the W201 190E shocks or all four that I changed on the W202!

Give me a ring if you still want a hand doing them

Think Colin is either being overly cautious or just plain wants yer money.

Gonna do mine myself I recon.

 

[Howard]

[Howard]

Have you been to the Krispy Kreme drive through on the A3 ?

I bought one of their packs of 20 from Bentalls the other day .... £7.95 thinking 'great this'll last the week', and god's honest truth i ate them all by the evening.

What a Larda$$ !!!

 

[Will]

Krispy Kreme - never been there mate, although I have seen their outlet in Bentalls before

Like I said, doughnuts, beers etc etc...

mmm

 

[Howard]

We should organsise a DTT - a Drive Through Together ......

 

[Will]

We should organsise a DTT - a Drive Through Together ......

Now there's a plan

 

[mickl]
