And they won't put the bonnet and bumper back on til the bit Jim forced me to have is in cos it will have to come off again... they refuse to attach the accelerator cable til she is run in cos apparently I might be .... dangerous Sad

Changed the front ARB droplinks this evening. Passenger side one had both boots split but still appeared to be working (but wouldn't have been for much longer). Driver's side one was bent, and one joint had no boot at all with about 8mm of play. The other was split and on the way out. Unfortunately because all the droplinks do is act as a flexible extension on each end of the ARB, with 1 shot dropilnk the ARB isn't really doing anything.

Droplinks are a real pain on the MR2, and most Toyotas of that age. They can be a right pain to get off, I've had to cut them off before using a hacksaw blade because of how inaccessible they are. However with the right tools and a bit of patience these ones came off in one piece no problem. From drive-in to drive-out was 45 minutes which isn't bad Big Grin No more clonking from the front end, and it now corners so flat that it slides you out of your seat again.

Many thanks to Hurricane for sorting me out with a set of droplinks after Toyota quoted me £212 a pair.
