No they were second hand mate. So fully stripped and cleaned down. Yeah basically I got the spring loose and then tightened the top nut so I could just move the spring by hand and then locked it off with the second. Yeah, they do look pretty compressed, that's just the weight of the car on them. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk No I didn't measure it. I reckon I took about 5mm of preload off. But added about 5mm of height. I always thought you could run these quite well without preload. My front have zero but have loads of thread to be able to raise and lower Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

No you can adjust the whole strut by loosening the bottom nut and spinning either way for height adjustment. More preload means less travel for the spring so less bounce. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Yeah that's what I did. Loosened the bottom nut and spun the strut. Because it was quite stiff I used the c spanner to spin the strut by turning the 2 nut. It won't adjust the preload as it's force is pushing against the top top. Likewise the other way round do the top nut will spin the strut and won't adjust the preload as it's forcing down the the lower nut. Hope that males sense Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Afternoon all, I'm gaving a slight issue with my miesters on my Gen 7. I had the rear wheels off at the weekend as part of bleeding brakes, clean up etc and while I was there I decided to lose all the preload on the rear springs. After making sure there was no weight on them I wound the springs off, cleaned it all up and set the spring to just being able to spin the spring by hand. So pre load zero!!!. I wanted to raise the rear a little so I span the damper up. All tightened up and thought I was good to go. Did the same on the other side and measured the distance between the 2 nut down (locking the spring) and the bottom lock. Think it was about 15mm. Now looking at some pictures this should give me a reasonable clearance to the wheel arch but is hasn't!!! I'm getting more rubbing now I have taken the preload completely off. I have 27mm spacers on the rear and obviously this is causing the rubbing but I don't want to remove them and I didn't have this issue before. To give you an idea how high I have wound them up. You can see the thread in the small hole in the bottom suspension arm. I'll try and take a picture of my setup in a bit but here's how compressed my spring is. Do you thing my dampers have failed? Also I was running the rears on 26 and now have turned them up to 32 so hopefully it might ease the rubbing until I get this sorted. I don't know how much more I can wind these things up!!!!

Yeah think so mate.

Cheers mate. Getting the garage to sort it out as I do t have time. About 45 quid delivered. I decided to get a replacement as it didn't cost me anymore and was here the next day. Car booked in for the 28th so just looking for some rad hoses now. Cheers for everyone's comments Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I know a few damaged fins won't have a effect on it really but I think it will annoy me knowing it is there. I have asked the to replace it. Cheers guys. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Hi all, Received a new ac condenser yesterday and found some of the fins damaged. Spoke to the company I got it from and have said I can get a new one or they will give me some money back if I keep this. What would you do? Cheers Jim Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Bloody hell..... Saw the post and thought you'd fitted them!!! Stop messing about

Best thing to do mate. Is fully back them off and them put the hand brake on 3 clicks. Then adjust each one till you can spin the cog anymore. Take off the handbrake and make sure the wheels are free to turn. Job done. You can then at a later date adjust the handbrake cable as you've set up the drums properly. I did mine but couldn't get it any tighter so looks like I'll need a new handbrake cable at a later date.

The answer to your question mate is its just just a locator. There's one on the stock scoop too.

I was gonna buy a replica but with all the hassle I treated myself [emoji3] I'm not sure yet mate. It looks like a little locator. Gonna have a test fit in a bit. So I should be able to give you a better idea in a few hours

Just pick this up. No explaining needed

Well I've finally got a sit for the little man. Went with the Recaro young sport. Did a little modification to the car to A. Make it sit a little better and B. Protect my seats in the rear from marking. So I got some foam from work and filled in the bucket a little Next a sheet of foam to protect the seat Seated fitted. Nice and snug and matches quite well to the GT interior Thanks everyone for the help. Jack is a happy little man

Cheers everyone!!! Works been busy so haven't managed to see that one on eBay yet. Hopefully going on Monday for a test fit.

Going to have a look at this tomorrowhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/271859506737?redirect=mobile

Cheers I'll have a look. Not I'm my car. Just the rav4. We got a britax for here's when he moves up but I tried it in my car and it doesn't seem very y stable.

Hi all, My little lad is going to nursery soon so I'll be occasionally picking him up in my car. Just wondered if anyone had experience with baby seats in the back and any recommendations for these bucket seats. Cheers jim

Looks like it mate. There 21/5w wedge so should be OK.

Have you got access to an EU linco mate? There really cheap. Got my mate a brake light bulb for a t5 camper. 49p!!!! Personally I would stay away from led brake light bulbs.

No mate I asked but it was too expensive. Im still gutted I didn't get that one you got....

Trd short shifter and Jdm number plate surround both off a sports m. Looks like I'll be busy this afternoon

Thankyou. Once I took the off they were in good knick but will remember that for next time.
