This morning i set about putting on Eibachs all round, and new front shocks with help from mate. Bit like any other Sunday really :rolleyes:

 

Got the first shock off after about 30 mins. But could we get the bugger disassembled?? Could we fook. Broke 2 spanners, one with its jaws reinforced by molegrips. Panic call to ZTech, and advice on how to better use the molegrips. Nah, the shaft just span... Argh! Wrote a panic post on here, but eventually resigned myself that it wasn't gonna happen. By chance found a local garage that was open and willing to help- whipped the other shock off in 5 minutes and trundled over to the garage. They whizzed everything into bits in 5 minutes; what we'd failed to do in about 4 hours!

 

Reassembled everything, all looked good. Until i realised i'd left the door ajar and flattened the battery- D'oh!!! :slap: Started to pushed the car out the garage so we could jump start it. Realised the wing mirrors would be smacked, so i jumped in to steer. The car rolled out but the rear wheels got stuck in a dip, trapping me in the car! My mate couldn't rock the car out, so i undid the targa and clambered out. So we managed to rock the car out of the rut and out of the garage, but not before I'd slipped on the garage floor and wrenched my shoulder on the bumper! 5 years with no dislocation, then done this.

 

Then it turned out the jump leads were buggered, so the car is now blocking my mate's drive with a charger plugged in.

 

And i'm sat at home with my arm in a sling, an ice pack on my shoulder, typing this with one hand and for the second time coz I screwed up a keystroke and closed IE before I posted!!!! :rant: :x: :headvswal

 

And to add insult to injury to insult, I can't watch Top Gear coz Miss Fookin Marple is on!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers chaps :) Pain's subsided a bit, but that might be due to the 3 cans of painkiller :D

 

Cheers Jay for space on the sofa watching TG! lol

 

And for the record, the car corners noticably better now! Even in the rain this evening it turns in nicely rather than understeering to a slightly wobbly finale.
