I'll add mine -

The snow is melting so it's warm enough to work in the garage - finally pulled out all the
front suspension and - Voila!!

here's why my car always looked a bit drunk.

p.s the short one is original BMW.

Big difference there Paul, which one is correct ?

Hey Mart,

The left one is original, and my new replacements match it, the other side of the car had the extra long spring, a knackered top bearing and a shot shocker as well as a buggered wishbone joint - so all in all I'm hoping for a better ride!

Do you think this was down to the wrong spring ?

no, I think all the parts replaced on one side of the car, which is in itself an extremely bad thing to do, are of poor quality and have failed, whereas the other side retains original BMW parts which are surprisingly fit!

Are you replacing all the parts on both sides with BMW ?

Mart.

Yes, absolutely

raw plug.jpg

I noticed the off side front bumper was loose where it meets the wing so.....

I hope this is the last raw-plug I find on this car !!

But you certainly know where he has "been"

I reckon the guy was one of those hopeless DIY types who used wood screws and bathroom sealant wherever possible, especially
around all the dashboard mounts and radio - he certainly was no engineer - the use of raw plugs is astonishing, I've probably removed
a dozen of them all told.
