GIVEN TO

Lez. How much would I be roughly looking at for you to change the leaf springs and the rest of the stuff that goes with it?
My truck is an 2003 classic 4life

£45 per side labour, and the cost of the bits, which I think is around
£84.00 per side for the spring kits 4 +2 Leafs, shackles and pins etc.
£27.60 per side Spring Hanger plates, ( the bolts usually break )
£36.00 per side for normal shock (if you want them done at the same time)
£72.00 per side for Heavy duty gas shocks (if you want them done at the same time)
Parts prices are inc vat. for ease of calculation.
There is a delivery charge on the bits of 15.00 I beleive, not 100% though.
Lez.

Cheers mate. Better get saving my pennies then...........

lez my parents are shortly going to buy a motor home, there budget is going to get them something from late 80s to mid 90s are there any makes of base vehicle they should avoid? transits are already out due to haveing seen to many rusty ones!! thanks adrian

Adrian, cannot think of any one in particular to avoid but look at Renault or Peugot are the ones that spring to mind, still plenty of them around so they can't be bad at all, and the ones I have worked on are still in reasonable nick too.
Lez.

thanks lez they are going to look at a talbot tomorrow

Basicly a Peugot mate, they will do no wrong going for that Engine and Chassis wise, probably a 1.9 or 2.4. I have had 2 in last week for LEZZ exhaust fits, one of each.
