The tools I used were: 13mm sockets, 3/8 ratchet, 1/4 inch ratchet, a 1/4 inch driver and a 13mm spanner. Torque...

    Strut brace's

    Has anyone got a front and rear strut brace on their FR 150 (old shape)? If so, what difference does it make? Also, can you get a rear one which doesn't take up space in the boot? I am finding my car could do with a little rigidity sometimes!!:D

    Front/Rear Upper/Lower Strut Brace Priority

    I can't seem to find this answer anywhere so I'll ask what I'm sure has been asked before already: Am I right to understand that there are 4 possible strut braces that you can fit to an LCR?
