Springs do sag over time/use. How much/how long depends on how the car's been driven, quality of the metal etc. 300,000 km would have a fair bit normally. If you can, unloaded it and measure and compare to the original height of the vehicle. That'll give you some idea.

Why are you paying for one? The mechanic should be purchasing this cause of his stuffup, not you!!

Also curious if anyone can tell me what the lights are on the BJII-J48s? Hi/lo is H4, what are indicators and parkers? Will this be listed in the user manual? I've got my new HID assemblies, but want to make sure we have everything we need before we find out the new assemblies take different parkers/indicator globes. I've already noticed the parkers are in a different position. Thanks much. |

2, you only get 4 points on your P's. So once you get on your opens in a couple months, you will have 10 point instead of the full 12, as it takes 3 years till you get all your points back

The points system counts upwards until you have reached you maximum allowable. Always drive with your seatbelt on, and always come to a complete stop at a solid line. Both these offences get you 2 points. Yes 4 points is the P platers limit. 12 for a full license. |
