Grand, was hoping it would be as simple as that

Just don’t jack it up too high and smash the windscreen with the bonnet

Meant to say, these are the rear mountings

That’s when you need to watch the windscreen

Thanks for the advice DB990, I didn’t realise how close Bonnet was to windscreen. Took bonnet off to be on safe side, bushes now off, propped up with wood waiting for new ones to arrive

Why did u take them off before gettin the new 1s

You probably need new front ones as well as or possibly more so than the back. There have been several modifications over the years. My 2007 T3 front have aways been prone to bottoming out hard at the front in certain conditions from new. Its as if the cab was hit by a great big sledge hammer when it happens. There is at least one later modification but it isn't that bad that I'm incentivised to do the job and it isn't getting worse.

I was thinking the same myself, I’ll take a look at the fronts tomoro.

Had time to take them off today, I’ll pop them on when I get them. Didn’t like using that tractor round here with the cab banging about like that anyway. Don’t worry daveydiesel
