I've always had to really heave on the trailing arm, and crow bar the spring free of the turrets. I imagine there's a lot of different spring lengths out there by now. I'm 'stock' height but it's still a wrench.

I'd guess that like a lot of led lighting, they are over driven on voltage, are not cooled, and are poorly sealed against the elements. Frustrating that they all say "100,000hrs lifetime" or something! Never gonna happen. The annode and cathode of every led is a mild steel alloy, which cor...

Some places might supply the engine and wiring loom on a pallet - I did that some years ago, contact HDC Subaru in hebden bridge and explain what you're wanting to do. Agree to reading up on the RJES website!

I think theyll all do 70, but wouldn't describe it as cruising..

Also 'cruising at 70' always raises my eyebrow. So relaxing! No offense, maybe someone does get these numbers...???

On the same note, I find "pulls like a train" hilarious [emoji38]

You must literally mean ' a comet' because I don't see a wbx doing that [emoji6]

It's my 'go to' jack for general work. Just slot in axle stands straight away! I have a block of hardwood to put under it always in the van. As said, good handbrake or its going to roll away on you [emoji856]
