I completed the same overhaul as you are contemplating but also changed the struts and top mounts. I used a mixture of Febi (Bilstein) and Meyle parts and both were of top quality. For the struts I used Sachs and by careful ebay purchasing from different suppliers I managed to get everything for und...

Re: 1.9 m43 belt tensioners
Thank you for this information as this is the last job to do from a very long list of jobs that I have done. I also have found some of the information available a bit contradictory so this information is great. Saturday morning I will be able to wield my spanners with confidence .

Re: Cinders

Re: Seat removal question
When are ready to refit the seats then, if by any chance you you have an airbag fault light illuminate then I have the reset tool if you need it, and you are quite welcome to borrow it.
I am just down the A580 at Lowton.

Re: Door Mirrors
I have the tube, spring that have some corrosion but would clean up, I think I may still have the base as well. That's only the base not the top half.
