Punto (Mk2/2b) my yellow ting
- Thread starter oldhammer

I replaced mine last year -- eleven years and 90,000 miles... -- but I did have a bad case of saggy-bottom syndrome....
PS: I empathize with the migraines. Horrible, nasty things.... :hug:

Cheers homeward,
suspension aint too bad,not saggy anyway..just the squeak,
the suspension on these is as stiff as a board,
drove my son's 8v active round the yard and its like heaven on the old spine compared to this,

It's why I didn't give in to the temptation to lower mine. Bits of my neck are already held together with titanium screws and plates....

isuffer with neck & back pain so iknow what you mean,
ionly drive this about 2-3 days aweek, somedays ilove it and somedays its
too hard on my back so it goes back in the garage,
its brilliant for motorways, but on rough roads its abump finder,
its killed a few cd's in the past so ive resorted to copying cds and putting the good ones away

we should form the Punto owners with dodgy spines club, i've got two slipped discs which is why I often prefer driving my nice squishy punto over the other halfs Mini which has no squish
New Mk2 Shocks are about £25 per side from most places

Used to walk round there, quite a lot. Feel homesick, now.... Do you know Watergrove Reservoir, at all? That was a good place to go, when my son was little.... Oh, the memories....
PS: Car's looking good... -- and I covet your mirrors...! :slayer:
Looks very nice mate!
I hope mine cleans up as well as yours!
