One of the next jobs is to replace the radius arm bushes. As it is something I have never done, are there any pointers to how to support the car (any support needed?) while i remove and refit the radius arms?
 
in case someone needs some advise on this here is what i have learnt:

1. Jack the car from the chassis, not the axle. That way, while installing, if the axle moved a bit, you will be able to push it easily with your foot.
2. Replace one radius arm at a time to limit movement on the axle.
3. You will need to torque the bolts on level ground while the car sits on its wheels not jacked.

Good advice.:):):)
Any suspension points should always be tightened when the vehicle is on the ground and has preferably been jumped on at each corner a coupla times to settle it!;)
