Only one i know of is in thornton,(taken off web ) Thornton Garage Ltd - Liverpool Thornton Garage is one of Merseyside's Oldest and most respected car dealerships, and has been under the same family ownership since 1947. Probably best known for their Peugeot Centre they are also now firmly established as Merseyside's only approved Daihatsu main dealer. The complete range of Daihatsu cars and light vans is available from our re-furbished showrooms and is backed up by our modern, well equipped workshop. I used to use them for parts, think they are still in business  Only other garage i know of is a citreon specialist in widnes, called c + t Oh and another in st helens here, http://www.citroentune.co.uk/citroen%20tune_files/page0001.htm Changing the front springs and shock's is pretty easy, as are the rear shocks, something you could probably do yourself (could possibly give you a hand if you like) However lowering the rear beam can be problematic as the torsion bars are almost certainly seized, this usually means taking the trailing arms out and then you could find the pins are fooked, this then means a full beam rebuild and can get expensive, Ahh the joys of peugeots ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™ |

I won't have the money until the new year but I'm just trying to work out the cost of it all, thanks for the advise!________________________________________ Команда CossakTeam Yellow Fogs |

Might take you up on that in the new year, trouble is it is my only car so I need it for work, so I'm concerned if it is all seized whether a weekend would be enough time to have it all fixed and back together?________________________________________ Команда CossakTeam Yellow Fogs |

Fitting the shocks and springs myself but im not going to try the rear beam!
