Wander down to the eunos this morning and get a sinking feeling..
Front passenger side tyre flat as a pancake.. GRRRR
No wheelbrace in boot, GRRRR

Up to the workshop, pickup my socket set and back to the flat...

Crack the wheelnuts, nearly bursting several veins in my head in the process!

Try to fit scissor jack under car.. Ahh, it is really quite low with a flat tyre isn't it!!!

Get car in air, remove flat tyre.. Notice GREEN colour of damper and spring..

OOOOOHHHH, hang on a mo!! Quick rub with my glove, T.. more rubbing E.. but more I .. Surely not.. N ...

YUP, TEIN dampers and springs all round.... WOOOO HOOOO..

Up to the local ATS to have a word, inflate tyre, no problems... Hmmmmm..

Get tyre home, nice and quite, hear fizzing... hmmmmm... Valve shagged..

Back to ATS, they mend it FOC and re-balance my wheel.. and even fit it for me!

So, even though I missed a session at the workshop (my saturday therapy!) a total result of a morning..

I'VE GOT SPANGLY SUSPENSION!!!
