Thanks, but why on earth would anyone want to ruin a brilliant car?

the air suspension compensates for rear end loading this kit does not
better quality and more durable bushes for the front and rear suspension would be of more benifit
and how does it fair at the MOT with a red light showing and the compatibility with the construction and use regulations and would the insurance companys honour any claim made with a modified vehicle

I would say 7 years and 100k miles and only the rear upper bushes changed is really good, and that is a car that has been off roadbed as well

in all probability it had the bushes done prior to you getting it yes even if you get a dud it still leaves a smile on yer coupin the good points outweigh the all the bad ones and a TDV8 puts an even bigger smile on

They had a few thousand left. Went for Pirrelli ATRs from a guy on another forum, very very cheap and 45K out of them.
