ooh i'm not sure about touching admins cars after the last effort.... Sad

your place or mine? ...that kingfisher still makes my mouth water. Kiss

That's all right, I'm a global moderator. Tongue

I guess my place would be easiest. Before the garage fills up too much with immobilised bits of Westfield, I suppose.

I think the next couple of weekends might be a bit busy though. Will see.

I'm waiting on a set from them . Did they fit OK and anything to add to the " How To " in the maint. guide section ?
Don

Fitted pretty easily.....my tips.

Remove the old bush with a claw hammer, this requires much swearing and standing on the hammer handle!

Remove the rubber upper cup (it lifts out)

For insertion, place a small piece of wood between the trailing arm and floor pan.

A bit of soap around the bush.

Get the orientation right

I then used the jack to push the bush in....and it went all the way in first shot.

Drop the jack again and re-fit the upper rubber.
Re-fit the plate.

I'm glad you're now an expert in these............. Wink

When we had the car jacked up to do the tank, chrisgixer looked at mine (seeing as they are a pet favourite of his), and muttered 'oh my, they have seen better days' (actual version varied, and would kill the word censor)....

must admit i was a little shocked tbh, esp. given your mot tester is so ott with the likes of air freshener's etc. Hence the language. Grin

Those Donuts are fubar, and have been for some time. It should have failed on them a couple of years ago, yet they pick up on air freshners. Muppets.
