Great stuff Mike, just a final bit, after running the car up I usually release the spring tensioner a second time removing the rubber grommet in the cover gives access to the tensioner locking bolt, I slacken off and then retighten again, and put the plug back in.
BTW releasing the tension bolt allows the spring tension to work not the other way round. A bit belt and braces (no pun intended) but this is the one job on a 240 that is potentially expensive if not done correctly
To any unsure persons out there, get some help to do this.
Thanks for the stuff you produce Mike
