Calliper bolts, top fixing bolts, bolt strut to knuckle (best being new) have no spring washers so will need stud locking. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Nice video

In case anyone was wondering (like me) the torque setting in the video are quoted in daN.m (deca newton meters) and is 10 times the Nm (the way I am use to seeing torque figures). So 25daN.m is 250Nm.
So you loose a "0" but gain 3 characters "da ." - what on earth is the point Confused Jules

Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on the 8degrees alignment on the spring seat top plate? Which direction should the lug be from the mounting plate lug?
Think this video shows opposite to Haynes manual??

Guess they both offset the same way ie lower tab on mount points to rear of car??
