You can buy them off the shelf, I think I may even have one in the cupboard brand new at home.

You only really need to swap out one to get the boot to open ok, if you have a rear wiper one of the struts has the electrics built in. I think http://www.blackdragonauto.com/ have them in their catalog.

Found it in the cupboard, if you can\'t get your current ones regassed for reasonable cash then give me a shout. I think I bought them off ebay, pt no Sachs SG227005.

This is the part you need Mick http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LANCIA-THE...item20be6d59ea (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LANCIA-THEMA-MAZDA-RX7-MITSUBISHI-L200-L300-NISSAN-PATROL-Thermostat-82-c-QTH104-/140633790954?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20be6d59ea)
 
Very important that you get the correct temperature range, this one is spot on. Halfords stock it too.
 
It\'s a Quinton Hazell part QTH 104

I\'ve sent you a txt re suspension bits. It\'s all available in the UK, just depends on how much you want to spend. You can still find bushes thru Ebay.(SuperPro does FB bushes)EBay will find you KYB shocks and a selection of lowering springs too.
 
If you want to go super low, you need to do bushes and also look at an adjustable watts link setup to stop that from binding under load.
Brake upgrades are harder to find as the S3 setup differs from S1 and 2.
 
Clive has brake bits and suspension upgrades.... once again depends what you want to spend and what you want to achieve.
