I am very handy with a spanner but just wondered if anyone has any helpful advice which is specific to the mini, or any specialist tooling i will need. thanks in advance Mark Burton Sold : 2002 Dark Silver&Black Cooper S - Loved It!

Im in camberley/ farnborough area, i know alton though, i used to work in lasham. I can wait for new year yes, i am happy to pay for your help/workshop services too. I just didnt want to pay full whach (been quoted £200) for something i can do myself. Ive got spring compressors, i have fitted a few sets of springs before. was looking last night and found a special socket i need, but a 21mm sparkplug spanner would do the job! When are you thinking we can hook up to give this a go then? Sold : 2002 Dark Silver&Black Cooper S - Loved It! Now : 2000 TT Coupe 225 - Loads of mods already | ||

I would prefer a weekend, but to be honest an evening would be fine too. I could also book a day off if its a day time thing. Thanks very much Lee, really appreciate it  have a very merry christmas!!

Then all you gotta do is re-build each strut on the bench, then re-fit. Should get them done inside an hour. I've heard the fronts aren't much more effort either! ------------- www.sjrainsford.co.uk ------------- Image: http:// i3.photobucket.com/ albums/y66/ sjrainsford/Avatars% 20etc/Appleeye.jpg | ||
