MOT time

[Heavy Breather]

Took the old boy in this morning, did well, he failed (of course) only on, play in the panhard rod, rear anti roll bar rubber mounting x2, and rear anti roll bar linkage.........THATS IT!!!!!!!
Advisory's, cracked headlamp and an oil leak

That's not too bad. You could fix that in a weekend easy.

 

[Heavy Breather]

I understand the panhard rod bushes can be a bastard to get out, has been suggested that i burn em out?

 

[Heavy Breather]

Or was that the neighbours??

 

[martin1512]

I don't reccommend burning, it stinks and if you are not careful the rubber acts like napalm! go to Polybush the world leader in Polyurethane Suspension Bushes & Components and have a look at the bushwacka.

I'd like to polybush it right through but funds very very low for a while

Ah just stuck mine in the chimnea to burn thum out and then hacksawed through the outer ring then knocked it out with a chisel.
Only thing ye 'might' need to watch out for is the inner ring poppin' out when it's in the fire
