As I'm planning to give the rear donut bushes a go is it better to do this while I've got the diff lowered for the rear springs or should I put that back up and then do the bushes?

Omega was £415 to tax so that's gone up £20 
Still .... at least the council will have that cash to fix all the bloody pot holes 
car insurance renewal £100 too much (compared to other sites) so I'll have to waste my time arguing them down again 

Come south to Malvern, nice here apart from the slow drivers.

My flanges were so crusty, I fitted these after a tidy up with the angle grinder.

Obviously you would need to check the cat pipe diameter.

If you have time, get yourself some good TiN coated drill bits. Far tougher that ordinary HSS bits.

Thanks will have a look, any recommended makes?

Cheers, I got the other ones on order but I'm still keen to find genuine, if I can find them and afford them.

Does it still have SL?

The snapped studs - drill them out and use nuts and bolts.  Needs decent drill bits, not the 10,000 bits for 50p egay shite.

I take it you mean self levelling? The compressor runs sometimes but I don't think it's doing much if anything. There is a pipe going to the back shocks but they aren't actually connected into anything so I'm assuming it's now defunct.

Need to get a set of drill bits as I looked at the manifold and there is no way I'm attempting to take all that out with the car 1 inch above my nose, and also risk snapping more studs.

Any recommendations for good set of drills don't want to buy chinese stuff?

Cheers

And they will all need replacing again in the next decade or so, when 2G is sunsetted.
