Does anyone know if the EP3 Shock top mounts will fit the DC5?
They look similar, just wondered if anyone has tried them before?
Blueprint make replacements for both the front and rear and look reasonable in cost. Around £30 for each front and £50 each for the rear. Although DC5 isn't...

Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 for me too.
Cheap as chips when Euro Car Parts have their special offers on (every 3 months or so).

I'm hoping it is something minor...
