Several hours later, on invoices at least, I seem to have it all covered off and my bank balance is much much lighter after this evenings shopping list.
Trying to get a matching pair of anything has been an absolute ball ache, I’m not sure it makes a difference but didn’t want say a Triscan top mount on the left and a Maxgear on the right hence the time taken to source everything.
Many of the big names in suspension components seem to be discontinuing parts for the Probe, Monroe, KYB etc all showing as discontinued and availability of new old stock very limited so I had to go with some brands I’m not familiar with from around the world though some quick research suggested they’re reputable enough, will soon find out I’m sure!
At the rear;
Magnum Technology (Ukrainian) struts, Triscan (Danish) top mounts.
At the Front;
Maxgear (Polish) struts & top mounts
Sourced and ordered an ignition coil as well to see if it sorts the rev counter problems. I’m also hoping that given the springs are all new, once all the new parts go on it’ll feel a little better, the mechanic at the garage said he thinks most of the suspension is original and could be 27 or so years old.
One small but deep pothole has caused quite some disruption and expense! Keep ya fingers crossed for me & TUJ!
Earth fault to the dial
