By not fit what do you mean? Too long or too big a diameter?

Are you sure that the kit is the right one for your car?

hi lads thanks for reply couldnt reply before this as laptop decided it wanted a reinstall of windows .anyway to answer all questions just the spacer outer diameter is too big.i got kit from eurocarcare so i presume its correct everything fits except as sticy has corrected my definition :lol: the rear seal protector.

Not wishing to criticise their kits, but pretty sure one of my customers bought his own kit to me a few months ago & his rear seal protector :) ( plastic tube) wouldn't fit either.
This was from Eurocarcare
