Cheers for the vid dude. My rear shocks were leaking oil. New shocks are around £130 but managed to find a mx5 breakers near by and got 2 complete struts for £10 each. The springs on mine were better, so I swapped them over. I managed to get the struts off and back on with a little difficulty but didn’t need to take any bars off. A bit of wiggling between the bars and they do come off and go back on without stripping anything else off if your nuts are as rusty as mine were. Car handles like a go cart again 😂 with no knocking noises. Time to save up for a complete set of new struts.

Rough and ready more like 😂. The car is 20yrs old, all fittings are so rusty and most nuts I’ve undone in the past just round off due to the condition of them. It would be like opening a can of worms undoing more things on mine and creating more work. It was tricky but perseverance is the key.

Hello. Is it possible to install the rubber without removing the antenna?
@Beechams1042 Ай бұрын
I don’t think it will be - as the rubber to a two piece. A bit to go over the top and then a bit to go around the hole. Then again, if you can squeeze it through maybe. But it’s probably quicker to loosen off the aerial and attack it from inside and out.

Before replacing the fuel pressure regulator, it is important to first remove the fuel pump relay and start the engine. This will remove the fuel and pressure from the system, as it is very risky and can cause injury without proper precautions.
@Beechams1042 Ай бұрын
Thanks @nakebmohammedi for the tip. I didn’t do that - but I had left the car off and not run it for a few days before. I’d read that leaving it to stand will allow any pressure to fall. I didn’t have any issues luckily. Other than not tightening up the clip properly so when I did run it for the first time it spewed petrol everywhere! I quickly realised and the made sure it was fitted correctly. No issues now!

Nice job done. What make was the replacement? I ask because we bought complete new rods for mine as the originals had lasted 420K Kms. MB original replacements. We felt that the difference in cost between individual ends and the complete rods was minimal as I was paying to have it done. The control arms - non removeable ball joints - were a little costly at 500€ each. Ouch!

I think the high ride height is due to tightening all the fasteners when the wheel/hub is in free air with no weight on the suspension. Can't remember if it's just down to one or all the fasteners you loosened in the wheel arch. It's to do with the rubber bushings.
