I keep telling you, you're getting to the point now where all is good, now you've had Rob, Ste, Garry and myself work on it, you KNOW it's being done properly.

That's purely frightening, maybe an email to the manufacturer to warn them of potential failures on their components. Even after prolonged / heavy use this shouldn't be an 'acceptable' standard of general wear and tear. :o

Holy crap, the front one was as bad as you said! :shock:

Someone should email these to Buddy Club, or at least their UK main dealer - Not seen failures like these before.

Getting you there Kat, good luck in the MOT, my bud will sort you out. :wink:
You called/text him yet?

I'd assume they were real because parts of them did look to be of a good quality but honestly couldn't believe the state they came out in! And the way you adjust the ride height seemd abit odd aswell! I think theyr like buddyclub coilover version 0.000001 lol
