Spent most of yesterday, fighting my drivers side DCC damper. Top mounts are finished, and had Bilstein ones to go on.

What i thought would be a fairly straightforward job, having watched Volkswizards 2x4 method, was wayyyyyyy off.

Took me nearly all day to get it out. Found the drive shaft was resting on the ARB so couldn't lever the lower arm easily.

After lots of swearing and cursing, i finally got it out, and putting it back in was even more fun!!

Only got drivers done yesterday, and woke this morning aching like a b&&ch, and not willing to do the nearside today.

Maybe Sunday I'll tackle it.
