Now that sounds really painful Willie-what went wrong? and what did you do to rectify?--regards Bill and Twinkle.

In case Willie isn't back to tell you tonight, from memory it was a straight bar across the boot between the shock mountings which snapped. Try a search for posts containing Owen Burton
EDIT I did it for you -

Many thanks for that Andrew-it makes very interesting reading and food for thought, just the input i need before parting with any hard earnt cash, 'sounds like a none starter', so it looks like new rear dampers for Twinkle. Best Regards Bill.
