Stuart, Check your front tires are the correct 195's. I had the same bounce effect as the previous owner had incorrectly fitted 205's to the front wheels. I now have P600 Pirelli tyres at the rear, P6000 and euro springs at the front. The car now corners like a go-kart.

I've already taken it on a 2000 mile trip to the South of France and also 1000 miles around Scotland! I've just got a few questions for the list - hope you don't mind! The car has black seats and dashboard with grey carpet. I've never seen any pics of cars with this combination. Do you think the carpet is non-original or maybe it's because it's quite a late car (Aug '82) and they were using up what was left? I want to upgrade the sound system but am having trouble finding rear speakers (10 x 4 I think?). Does anyone have any suggestions? Also is it worth buying the replacement console to take modern stereos or does cutting the original work ok? The windscreen washers don't work and I can't find the tubing from the pump to the wiper - is there an easy way to get where it's supposed to be? I've removed the screw on panels in the luggage compartment but there seems to be a hidden area behind the wing. The car tends to bounce around when driving on less than perfect roads. I've fitted lowering springs to the front which have made it more stable but it still doesn't inspire confidence to corner fast. Are they generally like this or do I need new shocks? Oh, it's a LHD manual with 42,000 miles.
