Seriously mate. Nothing to worry about. I’d be more concerned you’ll destroy the bushing tool than the car! Mine were rusted in pretty tight.

No news I would say is good news, but in this case car has been with mechanic from from 8am and now 2pm and no news is probably not good news as was expecting a quote on those suspension link part 6 before moving on with repairs, anyway we shall see, at least he has the tool to remove bushes.

All done mechanic says, will pickup tomorrow after alignment, hopefully alignment guys don't come back and say there is another issue as it was they who pointed out the rose bushings were worn preventing them doing a proper alignment (nearly 1 year ago now-which is when front thrust bushings were replaced)....

Yes, these old girls certainly have a healthy appetite for parts! Mine's currently waiting on a new engine viscous fan clutch and she's nearing another oil service. I told my family that any birthday and Christmas presents for me would have to be E53 parts.... and my wife took me seriously, so guess what I'm getting for my birthday....

Sounds like I need to find myself a wife! Car presents are the best!
Wish me luck, if the weather plays nice, will be trying to sort out my ball joints this weekend!
