If your stuck try here..

Mazda ones are cheap enough..... as well as the bracket.... no more that £10 each inc bracket.... :wink:

Drop links..... don't waste time with others....club shop Blueprint ones are the best... so called "Heavy Duty" O.E ones lasted me 2 yrs..... we do have some speed humps but in the main they get destroyed by pot holes and with the Bongo's weight...they are rubbished early...... around here all cars with drop links are having them replaced even as soon as 1 year out of factory such are the state of the roads after 30 yrs of neglect in these parts....

....which makes it all the more remarkable that my cheap Vectra droplinks are now 3yrs old and appear to be still going strong! 8)

I dont mind the cost it's just the time, lol I want it done quick, it's the last thing done after the major engine rebuild, after so many problems encountered I just want it over with and the bongo back ready for Centre parcs next week, it was the only thing it failed mot on, they were advisory last time so need em doing, hopefully it will be back tomorrow so I can give it a good run, fingers crossed, almost forgotten what it's like to drive the thing.
