Just before someone asks the question about mixing shocks - I wanted 4 x procomp but he had a problem getting them and I am inpatient if I have the bits plus I have a mate ready and willing to help!!

I have Decarbon on the front and Procomp on the back, I don't notice much difference TBH so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

Done!!  It looks awesome, with the lift and tyres I have gained 4 1/2" in height after the springs settled, couldn't find the full lock stops but will have a nosey around under it tomorrow, couldn't get the bleed nipples off so I will take it in the garage on monday for them to do it whilst they look at the mysterious wandering that its still doing, (brakes work ok after 3 pumps but its not safe like that!!), didn't need the extended hoses on the back, gave it full articulation with the lift on and they hadn't reached full stretch, besides getting the front ones off was one of the biggest jobs!!  

On the heater matrix front though.....my temperature was going up and down like mad, thought it might be the thermostat (all the right signs) until I heard the water pump starting to squeel, took 3 litres of water to bring it up to the mark!!  Took my front mats out and my carpet is sodden, dash out next weekend then, thank god I have a placid wife!

Will put some piccys on tomorrow (before and after) :wink:

chris hunt,

you can replace the heater matrix without taking the dash out. Remove the scuttle, over the gearbox and you can actually lever up the dash without creasing it, to side the heater out.

if you do it this way, you may need some bits of pipe to fit, as its difficult with the short pieces that are there, (they are ali pipes)

i did mine that way and it took me about 3 hrs.

This is only the way i did it, of course if your worried about doing damage to the interior then do it the correct way.

muddymart - just watch what modulars you get, I got my tyres from Talaren on here and he had got 30mm off set modulars which meant they would be no good without cutting a load of the wing out and fitting defender type arches.  Just as a hint, the brake pipes are an absolute nightmare but everything else was fairly straight forward, you can't really do this job on your own either and it helps to have a set of high weimer jacks that work independantly and a nice big workshop with oxy acetheline bottles for those stubborn nuts!!  

Gav - will have a look at that, all the people I have talked to all have 200s, might be easier on a 300? :wink:
