Will finish fitting other spring tomorrow which is the harder...... due to exhaust     now i'm not sure how much differance there is but jack is under the diff taking full weight ... pic is the standard spring  ute spring   and if anyone can tell what the part numbers mean........ i'd be grateful

so ... left side springs were easy to do & no hiccups wellll other than being the 1st & trouble inserting front spring hanger. righthand side was a 'bit' of a pain due to the exhaust. however wasn't too bad & was able to easily remove spring & fit ute spring. only problem was when i undid the diff u bolts & went to remove the lower piece of the saddle......
    was no bolt there at all  anyway all is finished.  and ride height

did a bit of "Trial & Error" on the wagooon reverse sensor wiring
so now have worked out how it works & how to wire it up so it cuts out when reversing with a trailer in case your wondering ...... the specific trailer wiring looms are not available. |

whilst the door trims were off i changed the drivers door handle & drivers side rear handle. drivers was done for when i swap the steering column, icc & ecu [forgotten what it's actually called lol pcm?] hopefully all done shortly with no hiccups...........
also found the wagooon has a hayman reese sticker on the drivers door stating a 2300 kg towbar fitted pics of stickers... normal sticker  extra above the factory sticker...  you bewdy! door trims as promised..... temp ones drivers side   Passengers   picking up some black door handle surrounds soon[ish] & will replace the standard satin finish door lever with the chrome ones i now have. ohhh & dunno where i put the door handle centres a year or two ago . . . ...  so currently not fitted
