mmm, sorry about that, there is a sign, but it still catches me out!

We did have a problem with the locals due to some speeding drivers so the bumps have to stay

No need to say sorry, fully understand why they're there

I was quite impressed with the way the car went over it with the new bushes and having been over some more normal wide speed bumps the car rides over them much better, thats a bonus for daily driving I wasn't expecting

Thanks again

Definitely worth the trip down

Oh yea, can you slap some yellow paint on that first speed mountain, I very nearly missed it

Hi Tnoy66,

Did you have all the engine mounts fitted?

Quite like the idea of fitting these but just want to make sure it doesn't produce any more engine vibration into the cabin.

I had the main lower one and the gearbox mount done. Mine's a facelift version so it can't have the other upper one done.

There's no extra noticeable vibrations produced on mine

Before I took the decision to do it, I read a lot on NAM. The guys on there noted that by doing the engine side and not the gearbox they did get extra vibrations, but once they'd done the gearbox side the vibrations went away
Thanks for this post from:

Another batch of bushes have just arrived!

Offer price of £175 continued for just 1 more month and then they will return to the normal price of £249 fitted.

Just like to add that I'm really pleased with these bushes that Dave fitted for me last month.

I thought they were good at first but now I've had the tracking sorted following the replacement of the balljoints they are on another planet for steering response.

Well worth it.
