Which drop links
So...... GSF drop links are a tenner, Citroen items are thirty quid. Are the GSF ones up to the job or is it worth paying out for the genuine article?

Well, I just spent a lovely evening fitting the new drop link. Had to resort to the usual BF&I to get the old one off but managed it in the end with the aid of blowtorch, hammer, molegrips etc. A quick test drive and so far so good, no knocking noises. Will have to do the other side at the weekend as GSF now have another in stock.

Aaarrgghhh..... tried to fit the other drop link this afternoon, all was going well until I tried to fit the new GSF one and one of the bolts snapped. Couldn't believe it. Used the same torque wrench settings as the other three @ 52ft/lb and bang! sheared straight off[xx(] so now I've got to mess about trying to get a replacement from GSF tomorrow and I'm carless untill it's sorted. Perhaps I should have spent out on Citroen items after all.
Still, on a brighter note I discovered that it's dead easy to get at the fog lamp bulbs by just removing the headlamps. Far easier than removing the bumper.[8D]
