not sure i can help you with garages (i reckon my local one loves my family - they have had so much money off of us over the years) i'm not entirely sure my regular garage isn't ripping me off

good to see a fellow kentish cento owner on here though

i'm from near dartford (and work in welling)
i know sevenoaks quite well

Giles, they won't do the bushes. Fiat only sell the whole arm. Unless you're wanting to replace them with Powerflex ones. These work out at £15 each (you'll need 4) which is much cheaper than £100 each new arm from Fiat.

best ringing the garages and asking around

Thanks fella's

Stuart, if you see a cleanish R reg yellow sporting being ragged round the area then chances are it'll be me or the wife:)

Surfin fella, do you happen to know where to get the Powerflex ones from??

Cheers,

Giles

Brian (DJ_Bucho) and I recently replaced Julio's rear bushes with Powerflex ones and I'm almost certain he got them from Fast Fiat - ask him and he'll be able to definitely tell you. They were only £15 each too, a bargain by anyone's standards. And they do make a considerable difference.

Thanks mate,
