Hi all,

 

I am a fledgling member, only joined a few days ago. i have a Galaxy aspen 2.0, it is here as a result of the missus wanting more space following the birth of our lastest (and Last!!) baby, even thought there are now only 4 of us she was complaining that we could not get anybody in our last car with all of us in it, which was a old rover, which give it it's due was a really good car. So we bought this which she let me spend a bit of money on it 's spec is now:-

 

* 17 inch TSW Venoms (one with a Kerbing Chip as these are off ebay!!!)

* Set of Eibach lowering springs 35 MM Drop, Now my exhaust scrapes over those small individual speed bumps no matter how slow i go, with a full car i don't even bother, i probably wouldent have gone for such a drop if i'd have known.

* Limo Black, Blacked out windows

* Sony Head unit (standard speakers tho, run out of cash :lol: )

 

Just another thing, the drivers wiper packed up last week resulting in me having to fit a nice new linkage, while i was at it i saw that the front suspension caps were filled with water and was rust coloured has anyone else experienced this problem, i'm just worried about if i ever need to get the nut off in the middle anytime it looks pretty rusted on now :lol:

 

 

 

Best regards

yep - its not unknown :) if its not gone too far yet - fill them up wiyh marine grease - if it has you can start drenching in plus-gas (better than wd40 as a release agent) after a couple of years of this :lol: they will be ready to come off - maybe

 

 

b*****y wimen here type too fast :lol: :lol:

:lol: Hi and welcome to the wonderfull world of the galaxy.in answer to question about suspension tops full of water-yes its a common problem ,most people dry out tops as best they can ,spray on a releasing fluid then fill tops with grease to stop any further water ingress
