Thanks tunnie, for use of your drive, and for your gadget hands to get your hands in the depths of the drivers door...


Yet another reason why FSH is not necessarily a good thing.  I suspect the fuel filter is several years old, and the last muppet to do the oil is a prat  >:(.  Still, nothing that a bit of TLC won't cure :y

The one on the right is the normal type failure.  Never seen one as bad as the left, esp if we had taken a picture of it on the car, rubbing on CV boot...

No Problem  :y

Classic example of dealer servicing, still damn good service and should have a tasty example.  :)

Lucky bugger.  Got Irmscher at the front of the MV6, and that has sorted that long standing high speed understeer I've always complained of.

If anyone knows of a complete set of Irmscher springs going, I could be interested...

Secret? What secret? ;D

 As said the left one is impressive. And how the top coils have compressed compared to the new one.

Genuine springs?
