I’d ave gone t’pub.

In the end, Michael at Eurosubframes sorted me out with the subframe, arms and bolts. He reckons we might need a different rear anti roll bar but we will see when we go to fit it. Once it’s done I’ll update here with the part nos. Etc relevant to our VIN and model.

Thanks, will do that 👍👍

Yes indeed, we were a long time in the canaries, the rover in my profile picture came from Tenerife, we lived on Fuerteventura. Happy days !

I lived in Spain for years before brexit forced us back , it was easier to get stuff sent to Spain than it is to get it here in rural Scotland……

Burp it Fill radiator, leave fill plug off. Fill coolant tank, leave cap off. Stick a burping funnel in it if you’ve got one Start engine, turn heat to HOT both sides. Run engine idle until thermostat is open and you have heat coming out of the heater if you’ve got one… Once air stops coming...

Yes indeed! Think mine is completely seized

I’m 6’4 and 18st with arms like a gorilla…..only way I think is to drop the tank. Madly annoying that the bung is seized, tried it last year but was worried about ripping the arse oot the tank
