Thanks a lot William at SNG.
It's good news that SNG has got some in now, just my luck that there seemed to be a general shortage of them when I wanted some though, I asked loads of people.
At great expense, especially after being blackmailed for import tax, I bought a repair kit which is now fitted. I don't think it would have been any dearer to buy a genuine set, but hopefully as they're polyurethane they didn't start to deteriorate as soon as I fitted them, and the car certainly sits better at the moment.
I made a point of not turning the ignition on for the entire time that I was working on the car as I know the electronics can be awkward, and then true to form when I fired it up there was a fault, an anti knock sensor has resigned it seems. So I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
I have used SNG a number of times William and I'm sure I will again so I'll keep you in mind and if I have a big order I'll be in touch.

Good day,


These look exactly like the ones I got from Partsgeek at the end of last year. I only recently installed them, but seem to have a problem with the strut staying centered with the smaller bushing...








I may just find my old parts and rebuild them with the solid rubber bits... The pass side is perfect, but the driver side wants to push to the outside edge. I can spin it and it will still push to the outside so the strut rod isn't bent...


Cheers!!
