I don't know how good a mechanic you are Fletch,but I see that you are in Derbyshire. I know of a couple of excellent old fashioned garages that wouldn't rip you off. I'm using one in Holbrook currently. Lost my mechanics pit when we moved house 2 years ago and arthritis prevents limbo dancing under the cars! Frankly I wish I'd started going there years ago...no skinned knuckles and multiple trips to the car factors.

You need to inspect the rubber bushes on the suspension - especially on the eye-bolts. And are the chassis legs free from rust/cracking? Also - are the rebound stops in place? Otherwise the wheels will dangle more than BMC intended...
