I've been meaning to change the drivers side strut top on my green TCT exclusive for a while now, I bought a replacement some time ago.
But I've been putting it off and concentrating on the white SX and it's leaking exhaust gasket.
Well, time waits for no man, and today events overtook me.
The green one must have got jealous about all the care and attention I've been lavishing on the white one, and it decided to make a bold statement.....the bastard

So, now that the horse has bolted, I've decided to close the stable door
And I've fitted the replacement strut top........
Replacement bonnet, scuttle and end caps to add to the ever increasing number of jobs to do

Bloody strut top bearings
