    I used the outer sleeve of the opposite bush with the metal sleeve. You have to cut it to remove so I put a jubilee clip around to stop it expanding with the pressure of the rubber bush. In hindsight I should have cut the sleeve in half so that it could be more easily removed once the jubilee clip was undone as the bush was locating. Plus lashings of washing up liquid and it went in surprisingly easily.

    Thanks Steve @drdoom. I managed to get it sorted with the help of a special tool I made up but those prices are much cheaper than the UK suppliers so will likely buy from there in the future. I sought advice from SJ Sportcars and they said it's just a bugger of a job. Pete

    The last time I was pulled onto a recovery truck the guy used a set if these straps so I bought a pair and they've been really useful. They hook around the suspension front or back. https://slingsandstraps.co.uk/products/even-pull-brother-strap/ Pete

    Totally agree with @Fridge. Nothing wrong with points if you can get to them easily. I have lumenition optroninc fitted and not had to touch it in 20 years.

    Yes, it's correct. Even better, fit electronic ignition then you avoid the nightmare of have to set the points gap in the most inaccessible distributor position Lotus could have come up with!

    Green S2 on the M6

    peteyg replied to slewthy's topic in Spotted

    Mega late reg for an S2. Could even be an S2.2 with a W plate. Mines the 11th from last S2 and that's was a V plate.

    Hi all, Replacing the bushes on my front suspension but currently stumped with the rubber bush on the upper wishbone. Not the one with the metal sleeve. The rubber is wider than the hole. Anyone have a tip on how to fit it? I have a vice and press for assistance if required. Cheers, Pete

    I think there is also a special tool for correctly locating that seal which will leak if not properly aligned.. Pete

    I was in front of you in the green Series 2 Land Rover.

    I had exactly the same holes. Araldite solved it. Pete

    Mine has speakers there too. No idea if they were original fitment though. Pete

    Mine has boards covering everything from the bulkhead back. I have seen cars with a board over the boot area which mine never had but I have since made one . Can take pics if you still need them. Pete

    I've done mine though needed a press to get the old bearing out. Only other thing is a torque wrench that goes up to 200ft/lb, an extension bar and nerves of steel when tightening the nut hub nut! Pete

    I've used Redline EP90 for the last 96k miles in my S2 and always filled to the level according to the manual. Pete

  25. peteyg
