lol, thanks,

its not that hard on these 206s its all very simple, even things like torsion bars are not hard when you think about it,

as mine was not rusted as i have moved it a few times, i can adjust the torsion bars in 10mins on that car Laughing

i have just changed the turbo & manifold on my van lol.
