That might just solve the problem!1147cc hope that's per cylinder lol.
Was it a nice drive up there?
Got my wheels and tyres from there a few months back.
I remember when they used to appear at the Guildford cruise, got tyres for my 3rd gen from them there.

Cheers Dan, it was only an internal club prize and i didnt really have any competition, if you cant read the category it was ‘Spoiler alert’. I won the beer on the raffle and the club took the event’s ‘Best Club’ award

On way back from breakfast meet stopped on top of valley
Top of the valley? Hope your parking brake is good or you could be running very fast.

E brake lol never use it as car is auto but yes as the road going down sharp left turn as well.
New spring spacers from summit arrived today. These are 1 inch.
Old one is on the right. 1.5inches
Simple to change, jack car up, axle stands on chassis, jack on axle. Lower axle and release the shocks with undoing the lower nut. There is enough room to just lightly squeeze the spring, and swap out the spacers.
While I was down there thought I'd adjust the lower control arm positions. It was on the lowest position as my car was quite low a while back. Moved to the middle position now.
Gave it a good test drive blast, bumpy roads, corners, acceleration. Happy with the results.

Glow plug failed on dacia duster lucky it was the easiest one to. get to. The others remove would require fuel rail pipes to injectors to be removed. Going to do fuel filter as well.
Not to bad on price 13 quid.

Just got a 2004 Fiat Panda, spent most of the morning looking at the online handbook. Most modern car I have ever had,
more functions, lights and buttons, but complicated, give me five easy to understand knobs and I will be happy.
