And to top it off I went to fill up today and now the elec fuel cap opener doesn't work... need to use the cable in the boot.
This is getting beyond a joke.

Push up and down on it. Compare it to the other side.

just tried that and seemed similar but the drivers side seemed to hiss slightly, also shock has some dirt and crap stuck around the top, oil leak i guess
i only have about 30mm from the top of the shock till the bump stop. thinking i need new shocks and shall get lower ones.

I'd say there's not a lot of gas pressure left in them, so once they get up to normal temperature, they'll be slack spots, etc due to the damping oil 'cavitating'.Std Ford ones are Monroe's IIRC - correct me if I'm wrong. Would've been a good idea to change them when the springs were changed - also the std shocks mightn't have enough travel with the lowered springs. Good idea to check out the rears too.

I think ill spend some tax dollars on that, and put the rest door the panelvan.
I want adjustable height up front so I can bring them level. Good brands without being to pricey? Also want similar in the rear. But not height adjustable seeing the rear can't.

a mate was lookin at adjustable's for his ef and he recon'd that the pedders shocks where the cheapest option, might be an option for you. from memory they where about $900 for a set of front's with springs but im not 100%

adjustable konis were going to cost $400 each and i couldnt justify that much money to bring it even so just got monroe GT gas shocks for $230 a pair.
i'm cheap i know.

haha nothin wrong with being cheap, the GT's should do the job quite nicely.

yeah they should, im about to go fit them now
just checking the specs on a cam i just got for my panelvan. just ordered an ACL race series rebuild kit and a nice lumpy cam with timing gear, lifters, pushrods and springs. with all this plus ported heads, oversize valves and performance manifold should get up and boogy nicely. also has 3.55 diff. just some info on my pride and joy
