Re-sprung

Ahh. TFW, we were reunited and were happy until i realised that the MOT had run out and i had to get on with putting the new springs and dampers on. This was a whole days work, including i might add a 3 bus journey to, and a 3 bus journey from the mercedes tool hire shop, might have been shorter but i was working sans fitting instructions, and i faffed around a bit making a few stoopid errors on the way - the manuals say leave it to the dealerships - meh.

Glad i chose to hire 'the right tools for the job' have i been here before??
Wanna guess how much energy is stored in these springs when they are compressed like this, no me neither but a whole LOT i can be sure of that.

The grenade, ready to take your head off.
Lucky they were already broken, made them easier to wiggle out.

 

 

Grenade armed and ready to chuck in the car.

 

Wonder why these didn't pass inspection, I can't see anything wrong with them. :-/
