Hi Roger, as promised an update. I drove to London and back today and everything felt absolutely fine, although it did feel good before the bushes were fitted. The one thing that has gone is the slight creaking sound at low speed cornering so I'm chuffed with it all. Even more chuffed with the fuel consumption, better than my pre-facelift. At 55mph (which I only did for 8 miles) it showed 38mpg, plus it drove beautifully!
