Another small update, managed to get through the MOT with a clean sheet after sorting the mistakes I made fitting the new strut and using the spare wheel I had woop!! 12 more months of tinkering and playing!
As I said in a previous post managed to fix the oil leak to roll of the drive and have the drivers side spring snap:

As I rolled it back onto the drive the spring decided to gauge through the sidewall of the tyre... they were on limits as it was anyway so not the end of the world just kind of annoying so two new front tyres needed...

Managed to get the strut out and it turns out it had snapped at both the bottom and the top, thought that a bit weird but means I get to buy some new shiny bits

So I managed to get the spring off and replace it and stick the strut back in to get it mobile again, but have ordered some new KYB Ultra SR dampers, need to stick the nearly new OEM springs on and Im going to buy some new dust boots, bump stops, bearings and top mounts to suite

Me and the misses are in the process of buying our first house so probably won't get it all fitted till April but look forward to seeing how the Ultra SRs perform
