Re: What are these for?

Looks like a pair of DIN flip-top sockets typically used for heated jackets and the like - I had one on mine

Re: Clunky Suspension

How did yr solution work - Do have any pics/details? Here are two threads on the issue (second has picture of fitment). If you're running without the red springs then this isn't going to help as this solution stops them clattering https://www.ariel.club/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14829 https://www.ariel...

Re: Clunky Suspension

Hi, the only noise I ever had with my Bilsteins came from the red coils slapping together, and this was solved by the addition of silicone rubber rings. Have the factory checked for play in the bell cranks? I really can't see what else it can be (if it's definately coming from the suspension)

Re: Hello - and a question

Trickers, pull the collar towards you (as if to remove wheel) and push the wheel forward again and then release collar. There's two stages to it (If it's the SPA, others may vary)

Re: Renewal time

I've typically moved brokers every year hunting for the best deal as it always infuriates me that even though my experience has gone up so do the renewal premiums. Like I said, first time the renewal quote is less and ironically I don't have the car. I had the Atom for 8 yrs so guess that helped wit...
