Thanks Big Kev -

 

Wife took car out today - It's clonking! Oh God I thought, I'm sure I did everything right - I did!!

Thought I'd check strut tops and re- tighten. Now where did I put the Mole Grips??? Ah yes still attached to the other strut - hence the clonking!

 

Lesson learnt - Check your tools when you finish!

i have covered the top of the struts with tinfoil to stop the water filling the bowls. have'nt checked them to see if it worked though.
