    Thanks - will see what the dealer says tomorrow. I think it is just the top mounts that need re-doing. It should be covered under warranty...

    What is the benefit of coil-overs? Not that I know what a coil-over is.

    EDIT/UPDATE: The dealer fixed it, so all is well. Also found a mob in North Sydney that will service the Caravelle - quoted about a third of the price of Northshore VW for the struts.

    We mainly fitted them to lower the van as we fit two wheelchairs into the back of ours and the lowering just makes it easier to get them up the ramp , plus there are the odd place that the height can be an issue so every few mls lower helps . You can read some info here http://www.carsdirect.com/aftermarke...ing-suspension
