Just changed all the bushes....(well most of them)

Post by WISHIHADABONGO » Thu Aug 14, 2008 5:03 pm

Mine wasnt that bad a bit of knocking from the rear, but changed the front and rear drop links and front and rear anti roll bar bushes

What an amazing transformation, car is like on rails handling has improved and no knocking at all

Well pleased :mrgreen:

Having a second hand gearbox fitted tomorrow as well so that should sort the hold light situation!

=D>

All in time for my summer vacation...I dont even care if it rains....

I changed all the bushes beside one of my customers driveways today.

Will cost me a ruddy fortune to sort out. :(

The box hedge is now flat instead of vertical :oops:

You had mentioned about your hold light problem, it may not be the gearbox problem, Check the TPS before replacing the gear box, I had learned it the expensive way.

Hi I had a replacement Box fitted last week and it was fitted by a mate of mine, touch wood, my hold light problem has gone, he said my gearbox was totally knackered, and the black gunge that came out from the box he kept for me to see. The van now drives amazing.... =D>
