    :bang::bang: It,s my own fault ! During my refurb/resto I replaced all the rubber mounts with custom copies and during the install I overtightened the one on the right rear to the extent that it burst the top half in one spot on the outside - it was a single split in the rubber. I mistakenly...

    In ZA none of the 120 models had OEM turnkey auto doorlock/unlock as a feature. Is it the same for the other countries and if so are there known aftermarket kits/OEM options to fix this ? Thanks in advance !

    BJ Suspension Problems ???

    I realize this is not the 40's section but I am hoping some folks around here are more likely to have encountered the same problem. I recently bought a set of OME 2.5" lift springs from a buddy.
