Well done.

Thanks for the kind words Steve,to be honest the first time I drove it,I couldn't believe how bad it was,in fact not just bad,dangerous.
That combined with a ropey rear 4-link it would only have been a matter of time before I killed someone or myself.
It wasn't so much bad parts as bad installation.

I would have happily sold it there and then,talk about taking the wind out your sails!

But....Once again thanks to the technical support and sourcing of the correct parts from my fellow bolters to rectify the problems it's now a much more pleasant and safer experience,so much so it just clicked past 1200 miles today.
It's been a hard slog but on a day like today, 70 degrees and brilliant sunshine,it's funny how these set backs are soon forgotten.... grin
