This is an attempt to pull my D3 out of the gloop. There was a winching D3 (slimer from memory that time) and another one (D3Matt) connected to that to stop the winch car being pulled forward. Standard recovery point was used (unsucessfully), the standard rear recovery point was used to actually pull me out backwards. Was only the 2nd time I needed winching that day!

you wont be sorry with the Kings springs
$460 fitted is cheap. it took me about 1/2 hour to remove and replace
each strut but the hard part is actually compressing the new spring to
fit on the strut. i broke 2 spring compressors and ended up
taking the struts and springs to asuspension specialist. i think he charged
me about $60.

Thanks Pierre, I'd seen it mentioned before but never worked it out.

Cheers, Steve
