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
i have just changed the turbo & manifold on my van lol. Last edited by NorthantsBen on Thu Feb 11, 2010 2:02 pm; edited 2 times in total
