There is a good suspension testing section of the A30 between Honiton and Exeter, there were numerous complaints from locals over the noise that the concrete surface created when the road was built. When I first drove an XM over that section there was a continuous vibration - until I changed the centre spheres when it completely stopped. :D

We had to take our first BX to Diamonds for some recall or other, they had a TZD turbo in the show room which my wife envied, thought it was a lovely car, a few years later we bought one, she still preferred it to the ZX she has now.
