And then theres the minefield of finding a place to do it properly. The three I know of are WIM, Tyre smart in Witham and Nigel Langs in Bolton.

Investigated one of the many strange noises coming from the 190. It seems it was a heat shield vibrating against the exhaust.

As said - drum it into them that they MUST torque the bolts up with the weight of the car on the front wheels. Otherwise, the bushes will tear apart in no time. Although, that would then be a good excuse to polybush the front of them. Due to the design, polybushes can be tightened with the wheels in the air.

I was advised to leave them alone as VX ones don't tend to wear out. This was about a week after I had renewed them as part of refurbing the wishbones. 
Only fly in the ointment for most people is removal / refitting the rear bushes. I had a press at work I could use, but a local engineering shop could do it for a few quid.

Which goes to show, businesses, no matter what business they are in, will find ways to carry on as normal, despite all the hoo-haa from the doom mongers.

I would suspect LSD needing a rebuild. Don't see how you can diagnose a silent diff, but a possible driveshaft issue.
