Titus , the car is a 1997 plus8 4.6 . Became a little sidetracked replacing the hinge pins on the doors but once that task is complete I willbe removing the seats to axess the front spring attatchments where I believe there may be some shims .
I totally missed the floods as I was away on a 50th anniversary Lamborghini tour of the northern US . The flooding was huge with our major sports stadium filled to the 10th row of seats and the whole of the downtown area closed for almost two weeks ,it will take months to return to some normality .
Tomorrow will be a big day in the garage ,looking forward to it .
