Thanks for kind offer, but I am guessing your bushes were buggered too hence replacing then?

I was going to poly bush whats on there now, but rear bush has also failed, so new wishbone time.

Not sure on £70 each though  :-\

Could get a cheaper pair then poly them once that bush fails....

That said, ones on my 2.2 are original, and they are fine  ::)

Fed up with saying it TBH ;) ;)

Although I may well go down that route too, but mine will be poly'd straight away ::)

To be fair, unless his driving style changes dramatically when he starts driving it, he probably doesn't need Polys ::)

I thought they didn't look too bad. It was more to save the inconvenience of having a car off the road. Can bring them to the Wycombe meet for someone to give a second opinion.

Its for my project which is currently SORN, to get it MOT'd it needs replacement wishbones. I've bitten bullet and ordering from allgerman, (just waiting for a call back on a quote for springs too)

But thanks again for the offer  :y
