Secondly, have you lined up the top mount with the strut correctly? there is a small hole drilled in the bottom spring seat on the strut and there is also a corresponding hole in the top mount - these two holes should line up with one another. if the car is a T4 I think the holes are slightly out of line, but not sure of the spec.
Thanks - I’ll double check. It’s a 2003 V40 Sport.
