I removed my wheel liners that are a horrible felt material that trap moister and remain wet forever... is there a plastic alternative on other models?

sorted them, cut them off.. fronts and back.. fitted new ball joints, top mounts, and drop links...to then notice some muppet has fitted odd size front disks that do not fit the hub ans slip about, I think I have found what the rattle and clunk noise is.

today set about swapping out the rear top mounts and drop links: top mounts, I removed didnt have a rubber bushing in them like the ones I replaced - is that normal? - drop link, terrible experience.. no room to get a nut on the bolt, only way it seems is to remove the caliper for which I do not have the correct star/ spleen fitting .. nightmare!

I take it fronts are 288? Is this like the Fabia I had, just a matter of sourcing 312mm carriers and pop them on? Rears - I am confused as on Euros they offer 2 sizes for my reg : 253mm and 256mm very strange!

Interesting read I have a 2.0 tdi L&k on 109k miles.. that needs the suspension refreshing.. but I thought there is a difference in the MK2 struts, I thought the VRS strut has a 55mm diameter and the non VRS models have a 50mm diameter? Also I wonder if there is a difference with load weight for the diesel > petrol models? or is it a one size fits all?
