I think replacement rubbers are easier to find these days if you can crack the joint, the rear bush I guess is similar to the Ibiza one and quite a tight fit unless you use a poly split type not too much work I would have thought if voided it must be fitted in the correct orientation

Thanks for the reply, IV ordered a set of drop links so will just replace them, seen a video on YouTube showing how to replace the suspension bush so again shouldn't be too hard, the emission thing worries me as the new rules state it's either 3.0 m-1 opacity if the manufacturer doesn't state and on my mot form it says 1.00 m-1
My opacity mean value is 2.36 m-1
So I guess I need to loose 1.36 m-1

IV purchased some cataclean as mot centre said this should help
