| RRS-Spy Member Since: 01 Nov 2011 Location: London Posts: 169      | I have bought a few bits from Dan and never had a problem. Always found him responsive with enquiries and parts have always been shipped as agreed. I used the PM facility on this site as opposed to emailing. Proud owner of a 2008 TDV8 HSE.....and an Audi A3 2.0T DSG Cab and a Porsche 911 Turbo (Mercedes W208 320 CLK and Mercedes W124 E220 Estate now gone) | ||

| Tony666 Member Since: 26 Jul 2011 Location: Barry Posts: 170    | OK, finally got the bushes fitted. No more knocking noise!! Easy job (though the fitter in work did it for me, with the use of a ramp), made easy by the use of a swan-neck spanner, meaning the only other bits to remove were the gearbox tray and fuel cooler. Total cost was about £25 for bushes and brackets, and a £10 for a drink to the fitter..... | ||

| Tony666 Member Since: 26 Jul 2011 Location: Barry Posts: 170    | Need to update my location, not there anymore.......it really was pretty straight forward though when you remove the tray and use a 'swan neck' spanner for the bolts...I reckon half hour in total if you were in a hurry | ||

 | 
| Tony666 Member Since: 26 Jul 2011 Location: Barry Posts: 170    | No, I carried out the test as recommended by Disco Mikey but no clunk at 10Mph test. What I had was a slight knocking noise over small bumps, uneven road service or small pot-holes. It didn't take much to cause the knock, but now all sorted. Hope this helps...... | ||
