Tim, I removed and cleaned all of items at the same, so I have no idea which bit was the main culprit ! Thanks again, the MPG has returned to a more useful 35MPG (touring) and there is no jerkiness when cold. So theres still more life in her yet, who knows may even aim for 200,000! Richard

Has anyone fitted the replacement powerflex bushes themselves? Is it a nightmare of a job and if it can be tackled at home, how long might it take? By the same token, replacing the stock springs for lowering ones is that a DIY job? Any experience shared is appreciated
