it's a doddle - half hour, tops

- lift with trolley jack under centre of beam, axle stands either end

- remove the lower damper bolts; may need to use penetrating oil; thump the (ring)spanner/ratchet with a heavy mallet if the bolts are stubborn

- rubber cups off of the top mounts in the boot, undo top nut (think there's a flat on the damper rod to stop it turning)

- remove dampers; retrieve bushes from underneath turret (they'll likely have stuck there)

- new dampers/bushes on; clean up the bottom bolts and copper grease them; nip everything up; lower car; tighten everything


ed. but yeah, join up - lots of useful info
