Update,
Engine running and road tested by Glenn (engine builder) no issues. Just need MOT done prior to collection but before I do I would value your opinions please on the following as I want it sorted whilst the car is still with them.
The front nearside shock is leaking (previously advised by SMD after the Wagon`s last service before I bought it) and confirmed again by Carnetix.
The questions are what to do on the scale of cost versus the benefits?
- Replace front 2 like for like (must do?)?
- Replace all 4(nice to do?)?
- Upgrade to coilovers (would like to do but £££`s)?
A quick look at prices, replacing all 4 with a known make is not a million miles away from a set of BC`s. for example imo.
Am I right to assume that any replacement on the 3 options that the geometry should be done as well?
Bearing in mind I don`t have the final cost for the build but let`s just say its enough
and the car is a keeper at this moment in time I would appreciate any advice
Cheers,
Steve
