Just a bit of a mod. Wrapped the console and the bit below. Will do the top of the drinks bit and door armrests when I get chance.

Had the rear shocks replaced, they were the original sachs stamped nov 2018 and done 55k miles.
One has oil misting the other one just a tiny bit, both you could press down with ease.
Then changed pcv valve with a febi bilstein one, i can now hear a little more turbo whistle.

Did you replace them with Sachs or did you went another route? Could you feel the difference?

Changed them to bilstein b4, they feel a lot better especially with a full car.
But then again the sachs were knackered so not a great comparison.
But for now the drive is not harsh and it goes ovwr bumps really well.
The best thing with new shocks is no more leaning, before my car when taking a turn it wouldn't return level straight away, most probably wouldnt notice this but theres clearly something wrong with me lol.
Also when accelerating on the old shocks the rear of the car would sit back, this has gone too.

@Mo_86 that sounds great (y) I also have good experiences with Bilstein B4, they are a good alternative for OE stuff

That’s great to read chaps, as I’ve just ordered B4s to replace the original shocks on Mrs Cubbington’s Smart ForTwo, and was hoping to get a smoother ride!

Cheers,

Nick

I'm working on the topic of Auto Hold. I've already seen the message about which conditions are missing

Today I have changed the DAB logo of LBC to say 'Load of Boring Crap' and put a picture of our cat for Capital (and changed the name to Catipal).. seeing how many days until my wife (needs reading glasses) notices..
