I have just received an E-Mail from AUTODOC saying that if I can give them the Rover part number for the LH side rubber bush and housing they can help me.

Does anyone know off hand what the OE reference number would be or do you think I could get it from Rimmers ?



Thanks in advance.--


Found it. Thanks.

A quick question here.---I keep seeing 18mm bolts mentioned.

I've got LOTS of spanners collected over the years but don't have and have never used an 18mm spanner.

So is everybody sure it's 18mm ??--( Is that the dimension across the flats on the head of the bolt please ? )

Most certainly is an 18mm spanner I recommend you get a flexi head ratchet spanner and a long 18mm aviation spanner.

And use a tube that will slide over the ratchet spanner - take the wheel off - works a treat on the front bolt.

And a short spanner helps too.

Now I can ask myself the same question in 6 months time.---
I'm looking for a duff O/S arm (the one that has a small recess cut-out for the xenon headlight self levelling sensor clip). Now you have your shiny new German arms would you have an old one I could beg off you? Happy to pay P&P - no rush.
