Update on the issue is that, work is sending me to counselling tomorrow as I havent been able to sleep well. The OHS manager told me i had to go and no buts about it. He held a meeting with myself and the sales manager, as technically we should have reported the issues to him when they first put the note on our collegues car (where they called her a c**t). Even without then, we should have reported it on the monday, but i guess having my life threatened I didnt want to risk the staff either. I told the OHS manager that I apologise for not speaking up sooner but also that i had to keep in mind for any repercussions on a wider level.

Seems that he and a local cop did a drive around the estate a week ago - so had we told them about the note, they could have upped the surveillance. I think he had a chat to the project director, but not sure whats happening with the cops as I wasnt called up to go with them - but i am sure it will be fine, because he has the contact (the cop that he went with around the estate) as well as his own brother, who has been a cop/detective for 20 odd years. So in that sense it is good, and we feel safer at work.

As for the building - we are now installing security cameras, hiring security guard to man the building at night - as well as putting a early leave time so that all staff is safe.

For me - I am going to be getting back into the gym as well as joining either the Fighters Factory and train with Murray Thomson or with other professional boxers or an MMA training studio (WLDCRD mentioned it - so thank you for that dude) - to get some fitness and self defense into me - because this thing has opened my eyes a lot. Obviously first thing is to talk down the person and calm them down - but if they attack i need to be able to protect not only myself but also other people around me (i.e my gf, family, friends, even our dogs etc). Dont want to fight no one, but yeah, this incident has opened my eyes - and when I have kids I will also make sure they are able to protect themselves.

I still havent told my family as such about this - just seeing my gf worried was enough for me to decide not to tell them.

Hi mate,

This story has me on the edge of my seat

could you do a diagram of the area ?

i heard today that new law is just about to be put in place where suspended sentences will be eradicated for serious offenses. It's not perfect but it is a step in the right direction.

What i don't understand is why it was tolerated before.

My father used to be a police officer he still has friends that are cops he said that these guys don't have assets in their name because if they rough up the wrong person they get sued we need to empower the people that protect us its like having a rottie for protection then saying its bitten a few people lets take its teeth out,sure you have a menace of an animal but without bite its useless.

The cops can stop these little faggots they just need support. So instead of slagging them off realise there is a bigger picture,you do their job deal with what they have to its not great. And i find it funny whenever you have a problem who do you call if you think the coppers are so useless, why did you call them? in the future just accept whats happened and move on.

Oh and that top bloke saying even the cops are scared of him, i doubt that mate.

I glad the counselling session was helpful. :)

You'll notice that the counsellor isn't doing anything for you - and you notice that...

i) you're moving forward of your own accord - with your own talents and faculties intact

ii) you feel like a survivor - not a victim

iii) you feel more empowered and

iv) you become more resilient

Continuing with it?

the thing that really helps when going to the gym and doing weights is to find some songs that get you really pumped it helps to get those extra reps in. my song that really helps alot is separation of church and skate from nofx, it works everytime :) . plus a bunch of others, so give that a go :) .

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
