Okay... so why's it there? If it's to offset the drivers weight (for a LHD car), does that mean it's actually doing more harm than good in a RHD car & we'd be better off getting rid??

Hmmm... from reading around, it appears it's there as an anti-vibration measure. Still tempted to try without though!! Has anyone else done it? Particularly interested to know if the weight of ICE stuff would do instead!!

Hmmm... it's very tempting to give it a go, but I'll have to find somewhere with nothing to hit when it all goes pearshaped first!!

been wonderin too!!! surely such a relatively light weight cannot affect handling too much??? that would equate to fcuking up your cars entire balance by popping back from saisburys with a couple of cases of beer in the boot!!
