I do love a tub for bearings etc, but find a squeezy tube best for brakes and anti frett applications, god I am getting quirky in my old age......

hahahahahahaha please!! £17k!?!? You can get the same if not more torque from a tuned TD5 for one, two a 3UZ V8 conversion is roughly £7K which is 350bhp and 550nm standard and capable of 600bhp+ and 700nm+ with a supercharger for an extra £1k.
I'm certainly in the wrong business...
You've been busy then! The same bushes went on my dads RR, he asked me to do them I promtly said no lol and sent it off to Gigglepin!! I don't envy you! lol glad youre well though.
