Yer all I seem to see is the inner ones going and being more available

Re: what are these bushes called
Thank you :)....the closest I've got to figuring it out was the rear track arm bushes.. But I could only find inner ones (which would explain why they are not replaceable) which are Apperantly more common to cause this issue.. But a friend checked and is certain the play is coming from there as the ...

Re: Power Steering
exactly the same problem.
.never fixed it sadly.
.no idea what it could be.
.its pretty annoying if your sat at a junction for more than a minute and it powers down and you have to turn out the junction quickly.

An oil change should be the first thing everyone does when they buy a used car. At a minimum. The car was booked in with gtschris for oil change but when the fualt occurred I didn't drive it and he come collected it today. Greame Shaw (last owner) very kindly offered to pay half of the bill.

horse power is an overated figure when selling cars..granted if the thing is kicking out some mental figure then fair enough it acts as a good gauge as to what to expect and also what supporting work should be there with it..but when it comes to differnce between 270-300hp..i wouldnt worry about it....
