They are Phil, all of the procomp bushes must be smaller. Top and bot rear and bot at the front. I remember not getting them with the shocks for some reason and hacking the old ones down with a stanely blade.

Where are Llama? I was going to shout LAsupertrux, but will get from whoever has.

Had the exhaust fitted to the Sport today - took an absolute age.

Dropped the car off at 9:00 and walked home (50 minutes :shock: ) Got all the kit ready for tomorrow during the day and faffed about a bit. Then at about 16:45 walked for another 50 minutes back up to the garage - I drove away at about 18:50.

Chilled out for half an hour and then went outside to refit the near full length under body protection, in the dark. Then stowed the recovery equipment in the back.

The rest of the kit will get stowed tomorrow morning, before setting off to south/mid Wales at 08:00

I'm shattered (too much walking)

I rode for about 50 minutes as a passenger in the back seat (a '96 Sport). My wife and son were in the front.

Gawd!! :shock: :shock: These backs seats are just awful. Practically fell out trying to get out too!

I had a root around and couldnt find any spares, I thought I had some left over from my install of the rear shocks, sorry bud.

If Llama ones are the same ask for dave at www.llama4x4.com, give him a ring first he prob has summat in stock or something he can cobble together. Its on the way down for you as well on sat but reckon you should phone him on fri to make sure he is open sat. Mention me (Phil, not Doris and he may come in on sat).

Pulled up the rear brake shoes and tightened my handbrake cable. With the aid of a tame electrician wired up and fitted my new rear L.W.B lights. Very impressed with the result.
