No, the strut with spring will stay fully assembled while you change the topmount.

With luck, you may be able to lower it still connected to the wishbone, enough to get it out.

Small update here

washed the car - first time in over a month

New Tyres - needed 3

 

[MarkWales]

Possible wheel upgrade - think they will look OEM up for £150 - tempted theyare running 225 45 17 (wish they had lowered the jack now)

Would the tyres still need to be C rated?

Just purchased 7Pin towbar Wiring Volkswagen Sharan 95 To 06

will be able to use the towbar soon

 

[MarkWales]

Bought these mudflaps for the Mk4 Golf never got round to fitting them - went to throw them in the bin and thought to myself will the fit the Sharan?

Small amount of trimming to the bumper and I think a good job.

 

[MarkWales]

Small Trailer/ Bike trailer

Just nosey - many years ago we dragged an Ibiza rally car about with an Alhambra & it coped really well

 

[MarkWales]

Thought I had something wrong for a second lol.

I have been told they cope well and even better with a plug in tdi chip.

Post man just delivered the Alhambra rear light assembly just need to paint it and fit it

pics to follow

 

[DPJ]

Yeah, great beast of burden.

Here's mine on a trip to France with the trailer doubling up as a Child-Catcher-Van. sits nicely at 130 kph.
