It takes a bit of work, we had to disconnect the LCA and UCA, as well as disconnect down behind the rotor.
And of course at the bushing itself. If we were to do it again, it would be much faster.
Just finished it an hour or so ago.

We're going to take it to the mechanic tomorrow to do the belt (if they have time) as we don't have any tools that will fit down the side of the motor

Jack the engine up! Its so freakin easy! Its one bolt and a jack lol!

So, I ended up getting it done by my mechanic, and I'm glad I did!
He did as you said, and took the engine mount out, and raised the engine.
And proceed to break his wrench!
He said it was way to tight, and already rounded.
It was there for about 90 minutes, and he charged me half an hour, as quoted

What about the rear trailing arm bushes, can u notice much difference of the wheel position in the arch?

A crap tone of difference!!
I didn't really think it could change it so much, but it's night and day.
The Rear just follows the front around corners so much smoother!

Awesome, I'll put the same stuff when replacing my rear trailing arm bushes then.

Edit:
@Matt, what were the parts I needed to replace again?
I know my rear trailing arm front bushes are split. Did I need front control arm bushes as well?

@Technikaus/Bennoz what parts do I need to purchase from this list:

Whats the part no for the offset front trailing arm bushes is it Nolathane Bushing 46241??

Mine were the rear:

Were the bushes offset?

ie - sleeve was not central in the bush?

correct, those are the offset ones.
