Luckily they were all silly things, horn not working, brake pipe clips missing etc. Nothing major!  :cool:

my list of faults were  1.front strut bearing - bought a g60 mount kit and fitted myself.
2. i kenw my tyres were on their last legs, so bought and fitted those.  i was just wondering
about getting rear axle bushes fittet, because of having to take the petrol tank out etc.

apologies for the vauge description to begin with.

on the flip side the car passed without any advisories =)

To my knowledge the standard bushes are a right pig to fit and require pressing in. Ive heard people heating them up with a hot air gun to get them out. You can get aftermarket ones that come in 2 halfs which are alot easier to fit, but are apparently stiff and sometimes creek? depends on your budget I suppose. You will not have to remove the fuel tank to do this job, maybe the exhaust depending on which option you go for. My advice is unlewss they need doing don't bother
