    Front ARB bushes - replacement?

    Have been considering changing my front ARB bushes, because they didn't look too happy when I had the car jacked up recently. However, reading various posts on the t'internet, I believe it could be a bit more tricky than the usual two bolts, 15 minute job. Can anyone confirm what has to be...

    Strut top bushes - metal sleeve rusted on

    Went to change my front strut top bushes at the weekend, and discovered that on both sides the metal sleeve that goes through the middle of the two rubber bushes (# 16 in below Lings pic) appear to have rusted solid onto the spindle (i.e. the top bit of the shocker). Also, #10 - the metal...

Looking under the bonnet, I see three separate marks (with U-D, presumably meaning up - down) on the plastic crossbeam cover above the...

    Headlight outer surfac & foglamp condensation/corosion

    OK - quick question. Do the headlights have any kind of protective film on them? The Mrs reported that, driving in the dark, she could hardly see where she was going without full beam on. The outer surface of the ligths seems to be pretty scabby with pitting, etc, so I thought I'd get in about...
