(meanwhile my girlfriend found it all a bit amusing, laying on the grass taking photos. I do wonder what they must think of us)

You could always post a pic of the girlfriend. Maybe she would prefer that to one of the Deefer.

Well I bit the bullet today seeing as how I had my work clothes on already. I removed the front springs today on my s2a 109. I discovered that the shackle plates are threaded. Luckily all the bolts came out easily. I knocked the bushes out using a perfectly fitting socket and a very small chisel to spread the spring "eyes". Easy as. Not so the chassis bushes. Turns out that all 4x4 sent me the wrong bushes for the chassis. Too big a diameter, right length. Shame tho as I was actually enthused today. Anyway, the chassis bushes are still in the chassis so I'll have to do the old drill and cut method I spose, after I get the correct bushes. My landy has always leaned over on the drivers side, so when I took the springs off, I noticed some writing on the springs under the centre where the diff sits, in paint. The drivers side said "pass" and the pass side said "drv". Seems some ppl don't read things when they put things back together. prob happened a looooong time ago before my late dad bought the old girl. Anyway I'll ring all 4x4 up on Monday and hopefully get the right bushes sent out. Hope I can get enthused again soon.

Cheers Rod

If I remember rightlly, the Series 2/2a chassis bushes are different to Series 3.

I did tell them it was for a s2a. All the other bushes are correct. Its a pity coz only the pass side chassis bush is faulty. Been fitted incorrectly, pushed through too far.

Ok I got slightly enthused again today and removed the front chassis bushes. The pass side was easier coz it was worn, but the drivers side was a pain in the proverbial. Got it out with extra drilling and 1/4 inch cold chisel. Only hit my hand once...ouch!!:thumbdown: Anyway whilst looking around while sitting on trusty milk crate, I spied this frightening thing a crack in the chassis. Cleaned it up with wire wheel and was surprised how far up it went. Almost 4 inches vertically and down underneath.
Glad I got a welder. Hmmm now hows my vertical welding skills?? Been a while!

Cheers Rod
