    Daughters 1.5 Diesel Micra is currently doing 59MPG!, Goes like stink to as its very light.

    Coil springs or not coil springs

    I do agree with you in some ways, it was designed to have Air but I doubt it was designed to last 20 odd years, I don't cane mine as its a 4x4 not a sports car

    Personally I would avoid Europarts like the plague, the quality is often hit and miss but they look cheap. I find this place good value https://www.lrparts.net If you ask few local traders they should be able to recommend a local auto elec who could rebuild yours

    Its the amps that you really need to know, iy can give 14v but low amps usually due to bad earths. Common faults I have seen have been poor earth cables on the battery and other stuff, take them off clean connecting services and re fit, I have had one perfect looking braided earth strap that...
