Sorry for your troubles Derek! Sorry I cant help, Im sure someone will be along with the good old club spirit, Perhaps someone who has upgraded to UK brakes.

Cheers Chris. Will be buying new upper arms and getting someone else to install them. Ive replaced the bushes in the lower arm from my kit and will be doing the same with the sway bars. But to answer peoples questions about is it difficult on a MKIV - darn right it is. 3 hrs today to do just the lower arms due to rusted bolts etc, The role bar links were the worst. Chris how difficult are the sway bars to get undone? And are they the same type of bushes as the lower arm or the ones in the upper wishbone?

Cheers for the Info

Only reason I am replacing the Bushis and not the whole are is beacuse I already have the rear Bush kit. Way well end up getting the uppers rom Nic in the end.

She's a jack of all trades! lol This mini project is starting to turn into a PITA. The lower arms are a peice of piss but the upper ones - Put it this way, Chris is right when he says you can't saw them out with a hack saw!

lol, bloody pain in the arse is logged on my laptop as her! look well stupid now

In the process of changing my rear wishbone bushes. Got the lower ones out no problem but the uppers are a PITA. Can anyone recommend from experience how to get them out, below is a list of what I have tried. Bearing press - can not get enough preasure Heated the wishbone in the hope it would expand slightly Vice and large mallet Drilled the bush out - broke crist knows how many drill bits. Today I have take the bush to a MOT station and they have tried pressing it out but they are having the same issues I am, the inside of the bush is just moving (on its pivot) which means it bends the bolt. Cant get a flat service to get a big enough plate on it and therefore enough force behind it. Is the only option left to get a hacksaw on the internal shield and cut it to bits? once cut in half will it come out??

Ive struggled to get the autobox fluid as well, ended up using Fuchs ATF 4000 from oilman!

LOL He always has to lower the tone eh Vicky!?

Prob because its advertised everywhere and they get brainwashed easily! Does anyone look at the VODcars pod casts, its even plastered all over them where ever they can.

would have been even funnier if I had seem the original comments.

cool, Ive got no prob with it being a Sat night, if we have to queue we have to Queue!

Wez, what about if we start at the other end??

congrats Wayne, hope all goes well for you!

Although I agree with the lack in use of the search the links don't explain where to buy them from. Imi did the original ones but is not doing any more (wait to be corrected?). There are lots of threads on how to fit them!

too busy driving it I expect?

thought you were getting 52mm guages Matt?

nice one Ste, post some pics up of H's car - no one will know the difference lol

Mrs M5W TT dont listen they dont know what they are talking about Welcome Steph!

Thats great Linda, To lighten up Jap show final I think everyone should attempt to do one of these before hand, Im sure it will make great entertainment when we have had a few cans!!

No she has not taken it out on her own yet but its coming. She wants to take it to work one day and park it in a car park Unsupervised

I like your thinking Rob!!

Oil was recomended bu oilman, very impressed with the service. Dextron 3 Fuchs ATF4000. will do on the Geo setup Adam, they never got back to me, I just phoned up and said I want to book it in on this day!

did it myself, got the oil last week from oil man. was much better value that toyota. Could change 12 litres for £44 compaired to toyota's £150
