Easy Question... how do you get to the top of the rear shocks in the PII Cabby?? They arent in the boot!

You have to remove the hood.

bugger! My local Kwik Fit reckon they can do it in a few hours... I think it will be worth giving them the job then!

The hood easy to remove. can be out within a hour. Best to have a spare person tho. to take the weight of it.

had a look at the shock top and it almost looks like it can be got to just by moving the hood out of the way... tight but almost poss.

It can be done without removing the hood. Just!

Took the car to Kwikfit as the guy there reckon'd he knew about R19's.. owned a fre himself. He swapped out the shocks in about an hour of two.. was impressed.

Thanks for advice!
