Ally will always sieze with steel unless there is some form of prevention. Also consider that coilovers were never really intended for road use up until recently when everyone is dumping them on for variable ride height.

I haven't checked mine recently, knowing my luck they'll have siezed again!

JCB Grease them up! :) Just moved mine today after 8/10k of winter use!

venom have saved the day 7pound a ring which is a bargin , there sending them out 2moro morning so ile get cracking with getting them on .

Mot is wednesday. 5 days after it exipred. haha.

Will it pass the mot?

Lets hope so tim. its 2moro morning , fingers crossed!!

I've changed the wheels over like they asked and fitted a front numberplate.

if it fails then its major overhaul time and it wont be on the road for time.........

ok thought ide add a picture of my bodged suspension strut:lol:

basically the thread stripped on the ali lock rings. my first thought was to get new 1's but fK dnt sell them anymore for the old type struts.

then i thought oh fuck it ile weld the rings to the strut and have aset height, but for those who dnt know u cant weld ali to steel...

so i had a thinking sesh and came up with welding 4 10mm nuts at the same height 90degrees to each other with the flats all even so the lock rings sit into the nuts, as a stop kind of thing, well lets just say it works

no garentee with this work though ,

heres a lil piccy for you :)

hummm i don't think they will last to long like that

i usually take a car to my local asian MOT centre if the lights work n tread on the tyres it will pass haha

hummm i don't think they will last to long like that

dnt worry dave its not a permenant fix

Holy shit that is the BIGGEST bit of pikey work I have ever seen in my life.

Looks good

Since the threads are knackered anyway wouldn't it have made sense to weld around the bottom ring to? Just for extra strength?

what like inbetween the nuts kam? its only temp anyway, there foobared

Yeah,

Just to give it a bit of extra strength. Might be temporary but might aswekll make it as safe as you can make a pikey repair

oh jesus, hit a speed bump at speed and that will just give way lol! oh well as long as it isnt permanant, be careful with it though dude :)
