 Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Had a quick blast in the Celeste this afternoon to see what the new Burton shockers are like - first impression is very favourable against the Monroes they replaced - quieter ride, I think less body roll and definitely much less understeer even on torrential rain soaked road.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? How can different shocks give a quieter ride? Unless the noise comes from the spring pots, which then means less suspension travel, which again means the Burton ones are stiffer than the Monroes. Am I on to something?
Personally I prefer soft suspension, and therefore chockers that are "soft". Just curious what would be the best buy for mye preferences...

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Quieter as in less road patter from the wheels meaning better damping.....

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Fortunately mine is now tax free  Took mine out from it’s winter hibernation , started 2nd attempt , did 25miles for no reason , but came back with a smile from ear to ear , passed coming from the other direction a Brooklands Bently old boy (well older than me) wearing a leather flying helmet , he waved !, I gave him the thumbs up in return , that was in Weybridge just 5 miles from the old Brooklands race track , now a Tesco super store ,Pc world, Mother Care, and countless other retailers with buy now special offers , where did the good old days go ? , but hey, spring is just around the corner , and no doubt I will regret selling my Mehari yet again ,

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Out of the 3 cars I own, the 2CV is the one with the highest VED. It comes in at £140pa. The Golf costs me £30pa. The 1932 Minor costs zilch, zero, nada.
