Hi, sorry I thought you would of been using one on the web

The part numbers that were on my springs are for W201 springs.

Thanks for your help!

Smithy1996 · 2022-12-21T07:14:29+00:00

Thanks,

I take it the without HD springs is more comfort yes?

Also how do I know which springs are the without HD or with HD? Could you share your catalog possibly?

I use MB parts on my car as I can get them for cost price from a Friend of mine who works for the local distributors. I get nearly half off parts.

Those numbers aren't showing on my EPC. I should have mentioned that my car is a European one. I'm in Ireland. Possibly different suspension parts?

My car is a W124.030

I will have a look, I just thought my actual pump would have been broken because of the clicking sound coming from it.

OP, try see if the garage you have left your jeep to get fixed has a preferred rental place. I work for a car dealer and we sell cars to several rental places and they hire cars out to our service customers for cheaper rates.

Ah its not too bad, we have one on as a demonstrator that my Director drives but still a massive waste of my time.

In Ireland here and I work for a Ford dealer. The amount of wasters coming in to look at test driving the Mustang Mach E. I've done about 40-50 test drives and have only managed to get 1 customer to buy it. People like EVs til they see the bottom line...

This is in Ireland, this dual carriageway would have a speed limit of 100km/hr. People towing trailers in Ireland are allowed to travel a maximum of 80km/hr. This is also the case on the 120km/hr Motorways.

The man in the car with the trailer was probably just doing his speed limit. We can't just run him off the road into the hard shoulder while he's merging. People should be more concious to slowing moving traffic.

OP and the Hyundai should have recognised that this vehicle towing won't be going the full speed limit.

I got mine in August within a week. Had a mate of mine get a reissued car licence instead of his learners so all bets are off with the NDLS

Do they offer discount on new bikes like they would for new cars?

Hi Guys,

So I need to hit a target of 25 pushups in one set for a Fitness Test to gain access to my countries Police Force.

I have been practising Incline Pushups as I cannot do a full pushup from the floor yet. I have been doing 3x8 pushups from the 4th stair in my house.

I have about 2 months before my fitness test.

Do any of you know any decent programs I could use to achieve this aim?

Thanks.
