steve b Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Haha , they have the strangest price list system(?) ever - I spotted the rubber 4mm bore turbo to actuator pipe for a 300 listed as £113 +VAT genuine....it's about 80mm long and was fixed with standard rubber pipe Don't write them off completely , things like coil springs and dampers are priced more realistically Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy.cowman Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 New springs in and its a big difference in comfort! Did 6 hours yesterday driving as I took it to work in Port Solent from Exmouth and it was really fine, even did 30mpg! On with the sound proofing next and then start collecting the bits to put the M57 in it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.cowman Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 This is becoming my thread about the blasted truck , not just springs! But it's all about making it usable. Getting the air bubble sheets down which really dampen the panels then 10mm acoustic foam. It's massively noticeable just on the school run today. Engine bay next to shut that noise up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
