Always like the look of plain 100Es with wide steels...

As it happens GAZ are sorting the struts as we speak. Going down 3" all round. Sitting about right in that pic though!

Needs a rad first!

Hey Dan, did you post my springs yet?:D:D Mine needs to come down too!

Funnily enough, mine broke down today too, must be the day for it! Soon diagnosed and solved the problem though:o.

Legend! Needa100E thats very nice of you.

Sent you a pm but think i may have sorted it so ignore the pm for now. I'll let you in the next few days if any different.

Had a closer look and think it was the bottom hose and not the rad. The hose was split and showering the bottom of the rad.
Banged on a spare hose , topped up rad and let tick over for 15 mins.
Just been out in it for an quick evening drive and apart from the carb needing a tickle all's good again. For today.:cool: Old cars eh , who'd have them!
