..... the Fiat dealer wont sell you just the bushes....
I need to get the anti rollbar as well

£130 later......just to get two rubber bushes
....

That's disgraceful! Why would you ever need another anti-roll bar? It's not as if you could wear one out or break one.

Not having seen it yet.....its on order..im guessing that the bushes dont detach from the rollbar..... :-/

If they are the same as the marea then no they don't come off

it normally has a black plunger on the top of it,if your's doesn't you still have an airleak somewhere which is allowing fuel to run back to the tank when pointing uphill,have a look at the injector leak off pipes to see if any are leaking or have gone hard

just picked up a cheap p reg mk4 fiesta 1.8 diesel endura engine, it starts 1st time if its parked down hill but will not start if its facing uphill.
Does anyone have any ideas?

the fuel primer pump on top of the fuel filter is knackered,common fault caused by engine vibration,why ford put it there is a mystery
