Postby steveatyork » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:41 pm

Even got Russian to English and vice versa so Dave can talk to his stalker! :lol:

Steve
I would stick to the 'minge'!! Sounds more fun

Haynes translation gives 'bush' as 'douille/bague/couissinet' not sure which one applies though to a suspension bush.

If the bush is for the 5t and the rear try Simon (perfect English :D ) as the 5t and the 4 stud A310 share the same back ends

Cheers
