How anti-social
« on: 10 August 2012, 14:59 »
It appears one of my coilovers has tried to escape.  :sad:



Ive been lucky and both it and the CV seem to have survived.

AP's.

TBH it looks like the pinch bolt had come a bit loose, maybe it's strecthed. Have ordered some new ones anyway.

Just glad I found it before it did any serious damage.

In my pissed off state I managed to pull the wires out of the abs plug, anyone know which way round they go?  :undecided:
