Replaced both rear subframe bushes....

Once I stopped pissing about with a stupid toffee hammer, I got me BIG hammer.... that sorted 1 of the buggers out :)

^^^^^ that was the O/S done...

Onto the N/S.....

Jacked up the car, put it on axle stands.... removed the big 19mm bolt, undid the trainlge plate thingy majigger and the middle of the bush just fell out.... I had wondered why I had a knocking sound from the back LOL

Anyhoo, replaced both bushes in about 2 hrs and that was with 2 stops for a brew and me dinner :)

All done, been a job Iv not wanted to do but its done now... onto the next :)

Oh, no, no, no, nothing serious.  Well, hope not.  It just keeps going into limp now.  Which the way we were loaded earlier, we need as much power as we can get.

Drove it to Stansted airport and left it in a car park.

I shall now commence worrying whether or not it will still be there on my return.

As Andy B will confirm, even a Zaffy with just 2 adults isn't big enough for Mrs TB's idea of glamping
