Headed over to Tonys today to do some work on the Z, we started with butties and tea and got on with fitting new shocks all round, front and rear drop links, front ARBs, track rod ends, Bozzy and Ant came along and got stuck in, I had a cracking afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for all the help guys its much appreciated and the car is a dream to drive, I took 26 minutes off the satnav time on the way home. @t-tony @Antm72 @Bozzy

Just woken from my post "butty" nap and I have to add that we all had a most enjoyable afternoon working together to help Sean get some much needed renewal on his suspension and steering. One of each front and rear shockers were well past their sell by dates so no surprise that he tells us it drives much better.
Very satisfying to help and be helped by such a great bunch of guys. Thanks lads, till next time. :)

Tony.

Good news is that after scientific testing we found both callipers, discs and pads were evenly "bloody hot" !! ;)=))

Also so 2 important things were discovered today, 1, If you soak the rear ARB links in HOT water for a few minutes they push onto the anti-roll bar quite easily (Ant said) and 2. Using a Tite-Reach tool makes removing the rear shocker top mount nuts a breeze. (Bozzy said).

Tony.

ps. One more thing was discovered too, if you make Bozzy a mug of tea with sugar, Sean can drink two !!=))
