New boy here....!

Just registered on this site, so far a wealth of info. Anyway, after buying my stilo jtd, i've now discovered that they are prone to suspension problems.It knocks when you go over the even smallest potholes.
Any ideas what road I should go down??? no puns please.

Re: New boy here....!

I bought it from a garage in Canterbury Kent. I was originally looking for a peugeot diesel or similar, but saw the Stilo and took it for a test drive and was amazed by the spec and performance.Value for money 10/10.It was only a few weeks after a bought a Mulipla JTD. You could say I am a JTD convert now.....

It is an impressive engine and car

how long ago did you buy the car, does it have a warranty on it to replace the parts under

Loads of great advice in the stilo section, especially on such a common problem. Hi
