Well...
Having expected trouble undoing the knukle to strut bolts, they came off very easily.
Adjusted using a spirit level, plates under the tyres to get the car level and a bit of rusty triganomitry.
Checked the torque figure and tightened....

Too not much before the bolts went "soft"
Now i know Mr Haynes says to use new bolts, so 2 new bolts fitted and torqued up ok.
I think someone had buggered around with this in the past, and due to not being tightened correctly the camber had collapsed in on it's self  >:(
