Removed the old original units and whilst they had OK compression they had very poor rebound
Bilsteins have excellent compression and fast smooth rebound
Just need to finish off tomorrow and fit lower mount bolt
Then move onto sorting out a method of fitting the front inserts to the "crimped" S2 struts

Those fuel lines look a little crusty?
The lines have slight surface corrosion and the ferules are still solid - no deterioration over the last year
ORIGINAL: 944Scott
Are they John Guest fittings on those fuel lines?
Not sure as previous owner had the lines replaced (rather large repair invoice in history file)

That does look like a push fit connector on the return line?
They are push connectors but not sure who John Guest is ?

Keep an eye on those push fittings as that's not what they are intended for. If they pipes get removed a few times the grips inside the fitting end up scoring the pipework and they end up weeping.

And possibly not even legal to use
Bet your glad the mot man has not spotted it
Thank you for your concerns and here is the Inspection and Fail Criteria for MOT's regarding the fuel system
http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/htdocs/m4s07000201.htm
The connectors were fitted in 2006 by Bob Rose and a further leak elsewhere was rectified by Tom Ferguson in 2010
So nearly 10 years have passed since the connectors were fitted so that isnt too bad and 10 MOT's later they are still there LEAK FREE !
