make sure that you don't lose the bushes that help locate the bonnet when you take it off.

Bushes? Last time I took mine off I leaned it against some bushes. Are those the ones?

Not eggzactly. Unless they're rubber trees:doh:

The c shaped rubber locators that stop it rattling are the ones I'm on about.

ok so i was mostly drilling out the rivets holding on the wheel carrier and didn't wanna drill through anything else. and by work i was giving at a general clean cos i've just bought it. also changing the oil and stuff like that.
nothing major, i'm not claiming to know a lot about landys...i can drive it but maintenance, i'm learning.

cheers for the HELPFUL advice anyway
