Chris,  Are you ok going to Iggy's?   If so would be great if you could pick mine up at the time (and possibly Marcins/Kevins too - but I'll leave that to them!).

damn I got on this topic just a bit too late :(

Did anyone go for the beemer bushes in the end? Last time I had my motor up at WIM tony said that my front wishbone bushes were shot and I ought to get new wishbones.

By the sounds of things you need specialist tools to fit news bushes to a set of wishbones... all in all what will work out cheaper for me? buying new bushes and getting tony to fit them or getting whole new pattern wishbones and fitting them myself (or getting my £8.54 ph mechanic to do it!)

I still need to go to WIM to get my camber adjusted (which I paid for but didnt have done due to the bushes)

Is there any massive benefit to getting meyle/merle or beemer or poly bushes over simply buying new wishbones?

thanks guys!

Ben

Aaarghh! Been away and missed a bush order!

I would like to replace the 2 x Front bushes (horizontal?). Did anyone have any spares ordered or know the best way to get some?

I changed my wishbones about 8 months ago but i tightened them up in the wrong way (didn't think at the time) and I am now getting a nasty pull to the left under heavy braking.

Wish we'd have thought of the WIM replacement option.  Took ours to a kindly garage owner and used his equipment to put the bushes in the arms.

Lets just say the little one came with us, it was a family effort and all three of us were covered in black stuff by the end lol (mind u the garage owner did ask me if I wanted a job by the end.., didn't say the same to Jue for some reason, no idea why lol).  Not a good time for me to put the midget in a brand new Tshirt with white stripes!

Wanted:  Three sets of overalls, one midget sized :P

Chris,
(posting here as it appears you can't PM several people at once.. tells me I'm a spammer ;D)

Correct - 2 sets for me and I'm happy to collect from you Thurs/Friday - I work in Green Park so should be easy enough to arrange to get together.

Propbably best if you fix something with Marcin direct as I will be away imminently.

Kevin - I'm happy to drop yours into your parents place if you want - just let me know.     Chris - are you certain Kevin wants his picking up - would be a bit daft if he turned up at WIM when the bushes were in Reading;)

Cheers,
Ian

Ian -  will you collect it in Reading? I could come down and collect it as well. Otherwise - would there be a chance to collect if from you at any time you want?
