I'm thinking about replacing all the front end bushes I can. Does any one have an exact list of what type of bushes I would need and a recommended

supplier?

The radius arm and inner suspension arm bushes are available in uprated form from many companies, I know off hand classisswede does the radius arm ones. The difficult one is the strut top bush, not available anywhere AFAIK.

Ive got all the polly bushes on my front end!
Dai's parts are great, but sometimes it takes a while to get intouch, and get them sent out. Its definatley worth it though as he's done all the work getting the right sizes.

Giving him a ring is usually effective.
Not much help if yoyure in OZ though.
Not unless you want to stay up all night and spend a million pounds on phone bills.

Thats what skype is for, you can call local rates to a normal phone anywhere in the world. I have a SIP software phone on my computer for work, but Skype actually works better calling to China/Oz etc.
