As before - you need to unload the T bar at the front - then take the bolt out (easier said than done...) that goes through the multi hole bracket and the crossmember - move the multihole plate along so a different height hole (up or down as you wish) lines up with the crossmember slot - refit the bolt - reload the T bar. But if you are in-between 'splines' at the front it's the only way to get the heights equal.

Think I got it. I'll have a look tomorrow if the weather's ok. Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

1/4 inch per hole in the rear bracket. Don't forget the washer between the torsion bar lever and the bracket.

The washer stops the arm being misaligned by giving the correct spacing! part No AJD 7162 these are about 1/8" thick from memory.

Aye, there was a washer on mine. Put it back using it. Finally managed to sort it to a height I'm happy with yesterday. Got it with the nearside slightly lower again but I believe that's recommended anyway. It's the smoothest ride it's ever been since I bought the car and no juddering at all when braking. That'll do me (until the next issue).
Cheers again everyone (particularly Roy). You've been great.
Cheers
Paul.
