So it all sounds quite feasible then?

I think it just needs a new boot, but he doesn't have the CV splitter and said that it is easier to change the drive-shaft?? I'm no expert, I've not done anything like this in over 17 years... So kind of lost touch!!

I trust him and he does seem to know his stuff.

My Mechanic pal says we can do a swap for a second hand one (already found a Scrappy with one)... He's not done a 406 before and was wondering how hard it would be? He is limited on tools, no lift/ramps, no spring compressors... But he feels it would be easy enough... also, mentioned topping up gear...

Hi,

Please, I am looking for advice on how easy (hopefully) or difficult the job is to replace the offside front suspension strut and drive shaft?

How many hours garage labour are we talking here?

Thanks in advance

David

I feel quite the dumbass now ... was looking in the wrong place, looking at the wrong part!?? I think I'll go for the ebay part.

I really appreciate your assistance and enthusiasm for helping others. One final bit of guidance, where is the little bugger located?

Regards

David.

I PM'd you the other day mate... at least thought I had?? Is all ok?

Grateful as ever buddy...

I'll check back tomorrow.

How much for the two mate?...

The door, I'll wait and get round to spraying, like I said, should be easy... He says!!

Not sure which mate... Hooked up the diagnostics and it says wiring connections, thought I'd start with the easiest!?? So there are two!? Bummer! Yeah still need the bonnet, the one I have from the accident is still very serviceable and not rusting (good kit!) However the rear passenger door has rus...

Do you still have parts?...

The coolant temperature sensor?... Think mine is playing up and the local scrapy has cleared out!.. Gutted

Busy, lots going on right now, still looking for that elusive bonnet. Still if I can sort this and get the Cruise control sorted

Thanks I'll look at that some time in the near future

could anyone give me some guidance on installation please?

I have one on order now, could I load up the information to an external hard drive for use with random laptops, or would I have to load onto the PC/Laptop directly? Good luck with that :roll: Thank you for your most useful comment, that has assuredly set me on the right path... If anyone has any us...

Yeap I'm struggling hear to get things going, Can anyone offer any advise? I haven't gone for the external hard drive install, but I have no idea what to do???
