Why not. It may have been sitting on a shelf for months.
-
But you don't need one to change the gaiters ...
-
Good to meet you today JAL73 and compare our chalk and cheese cars !
-
They are very tiny flats, not easy to find. Did you have your glasses on 😉
-
You can use mole grips on a part that is hidden under the gaiter while you crack the lock nut.
-
No. You can grease the teeth of the rack if you wind it from lock to lock
-
And put some masking tape on the paint to reduce damage from tools
-
Gone very quiet here ?

Odyssey PC680 here

You don't want grease on that spherical joint, as it will attract grit. A spot of light oil maybe.
-
You don't need to split the ball joint ! Crack the lock nut and unscrew the tie rod from the track rod end.

Breathaylsers were never needed for France, despite the posters from the AA and Halfords who probably bought thousands of them.

Usually a sign of battery on the way out.

Mine are Protech 400 series 1-way adjustable, revalved by ProComp.

On my 2002 SV I gave the following info. All measured with dampers on car Fronts:- 384mm fully extended 363mm with car on ground but no occupants (currently 250lb springs). Bushes 32mm long both ends with sleeves to suit 5/16" bolts. Rears:- 480mm long fully extended. 465mm long with car on ground but no occupants (CC progressive springs). Sleeves in bushes 35mm long to suit 1/2" dia bolts. Road use only. Often 2 up (100kg plus 70kg) plus tools and luggage in the boot. But can be driver only. Set it up before with our weights on seats ... front height to suit required sump clearance. Then rear of chassis +15mm.

I couldn't justify spending thousands on other brands for my road touring use. They just do the job well and are great value for money. Speak to Matt at ProComp Motorsport and ask what model of one way adjustable dampers needed from Protech
-
I have put a strip of self adhesive foam on top of the aluminium plenum on my VVC to stop it contacting the bonnet
-
Certainly removing my rear ARB transformed cornering on bumpy roads. Took it off years ago and it stayed off.
-
It was indeed late 2017
-
It was a few years ago. Maybe 2017 ?
-
Not at all. On the fronts I needed a 25mm longer top eye to avoid top spring cup fouling a bracket.
-
On my SV, I replaced all 4 dampers and springs for less than £600 .... supplied by ProComp Motorsport, using dampers from Protech which were revalved by ProComp to suit the Caterham. Work really well for my road use.

Couldn't take a photo, but I passed a shrink wrapped helicopter on a low loader on the A2 this morning. Recovair truck
