ph2, the passenger side headlight,not sure if struts or damping its just really stiff when pushing up an down on the front corner, theres more braking to the drivers rear then there is to the passenger rear! (got told that by 2 garages)been told by a mate who does mot's that the cills will definately need to be done! unfortunately he cant slip it through for me Sad tried borrowing wheels wit good tyres but nobodys got any,currently has 17inch wheels with extremely worn pirellis on,cheapest i found is £55 per tyre fitted! with a new born baby new house and loss of job i think it might be time to say by by to my r19 Sad

got a headlight you can have cheap if your interested.

Also got ph1 16V wheels but no tyres for a fair price as well.

The rear passenger brakjes can probably be sorted with freeing up the caliper.

where abouts are you?
