99 Omega Estate...mini facelift...6 bolts, 2 drivers side, 4 passengers side, looks easy...so I initially thought...

The nuts accessed from the underside are easy drivers side, front one on passengers side again no problem...so the other 3 really require the removal of the backbox heatshield and possibly the backbox for ease??? So...am I missing something to make this the easy job it should be???

Am I going to have the same problems refitting it to the late 98 estate?

I think you only have to undo 1 tank strap.

You owe me. How about a free pair of self levellers!

I seem to remember removing the heat shield (and shearing off the bolts) you will probably need to drop the rear box a little

And as previous said, you use one of the fixing bolts for the tank strap which has a spacer underneath which is removed when fixing the towbar

Your right osealy mate, I owe you some free stuff However I dont have any elites with HID's The one I had before went to the scrappy already and the one your having the box off just missed out on mini facelift so no HIDs so no self levellers

Managed to break all the studs I have attempted so far on the heat shield...top 2 awkward ones to go...and a tank strap apparently...and the same i reverse, how fun!

No. I meant the air shocks. just failed irish mot.
I swopped over a witter tow from cd to elite preface it could all be wiggled under exhaust, just the tank strap to be undone.
