Hi

I'll get you one tomorrow.

Hi

See attached photo, mine has a few extra bits to fit different cars, the collets and retainer are not the original. I bought this for 50 GBP minus the collets and retainer, the collets I then made from bearing steel and the retainer was just someting I had laying around which is a tight fit around the collets.

Well seeing as it is my birthday next Monday, I'd thought I would treat myself - only £115.41 (including VAT & postage) from Bosch Automotive Service Solutions!

Won't be using it for a while as starting from the back of Zac (my 3.2 Sport - reg no. ends SAC) and working forward. Back axle out & partially stripped to replace A frame bushes & anti-roll bar drop links. Apart from a minor oil leak from the front pinion shaft all seems well. Giving it a lick of paint before reassembling.

It looks like Bosch bought SPX.

It's a great bit of kit.

Nice, can you post a link possible if anyone else wants to order one!

i have seen these for sale here and there, but had already made my own, otherwise, i would have been straight on it.
imperative bit of kit for any DIY Jag man.

Here's the link for the site I bought the front spring compressor from (I believe it's where the trade get their specialized tools/equipment from - but don't quote me!) :
https://jlrequipment.service-solutions. ... /Home.aspx

I had to register & then put my parts on my wishlist.

Then I had to email them at CSS.UK@Bosch-Automotive.com (this is in the 'Contact Us' section at the bottom of the main page) because I didn't have an account yet.

I then had to request to set up an account (mine is prepayment). After going through all their procedures & sending proof of payment (this process is all done by email & very straight forward), my item arrived 2 days later.
