Hi, all.

The Talvor, which is built on a Transit, needs another leaf on the back springs - a quote in Caloundra was for $400, which seems reasonable, whereas the same item quoted in Caboolture, a town largely devoted to RV sales and repairs, was $850 with the warning that air bags were probably required as well, say $1400. Feedback is welcome.
See you on the back roads,
shonky et al.

Ignore them all, Russell. :lol:

There are two types of Fiat owners - those who have changed the springs and those who are yet to do it.

My mate Frosty (Paul) is trying to get it done but they insist it will void his warranty, I told him yo ring Southern Euro for some advice on that.
