    What an absolute nightmare! Still, it's content for the channel and the replacement parts didn't cost anything. Good work bro

    Thanks for the shout out dude 👍 glad you got new arms sorted out before it was too late. Bit of bad luck with it atm but at least you didnt have to buy new parts, just the inconvience of having to to it all again. Will be worth the effort in the end when summer rolls around 👌

    Keep your head up pal. Loving the content , you’re absolutely smashing it , I’ve just been slapped with £800 bill as slave cylinder went , so whilst box was split new clutch new fly wheel , then drive shaft crumbled & now fan is on all time so temperature sensor to fit tomorrow , all worth it when you get an B road. Keep up the content pal 🛠

    Are Nevlock contacting people they have a list of all parts sold, so if a recall is happening you should get told not a person having to tell you? If they aren't that's bad patter and I wouldn't be using again.
    Admire the honesty in the videos as you could have easily just done the swaps and not mentioned it. 🤘

    Do you think it might of failed because of the lowering springs are too low for the shocks? Interested to see if they last. I was going to do the same but bottled it and got coil overs 🤣
