Thank you Clifford. And you have previously advised about fitting bolts (M10 if I remember correctly) to be longer support pins for the rear rubber hangers, so the rubber hangers do not fall off the support pins.
I do wonder if the support arrangement causes or contributes to problems such as Volvo Always has experienced.
