this week has tryed my nerves to the extreme.had my mighty ztt booked in for a new exhaust section fuel tank strap change.and replacement heat shield.b4 i drove to the garage a big bang!got the garage to inspect result broken springs .ok fit all the other stuff i will order rear springs.springs ordered .arrived today.garage just rung me it was the rear. also having checked it was in fact it was the front and the spring was about 10mm of the front tyre

i had been driving around in it.lucky or what!anyway they will be replaced tomorrow.so cancelled the appointment to get the rear box on the ztt changed as the one fitted is the wrong one.so hopefully of to the mk meet on sunday.then to powerflow on tues for a stainless back box.ps if the ztt is not ready i will be at the meet in merc 190
