Hello fellow A2ers
Recently had our silver bullet serviced and the garage picked up on a couple of faults which i'd like some advice on if anyones willing to give it !
1. Bush at the bottom of springs at the rear are needing replacement. please see the photo attached. Do you know the part number for these and how easy it would be to replace i.e. would i need one of those spring compressing thingys

2. Vehicle speed sensor implausable signal. keeps throwing a code occasionaly which stays on until it is reset. not really an issue but would be nice to know what it is.
3. Rear drum brakes squeeking. not fussed about the noise but would like to replace the shoes and drums as they are rusted like a ww2 tank thats been at the bottom of a river for 50 years.
Never replaced shoes before how hard can it be ?
4. A problem i would like to fix is when opening the front drivers door there is a crack which is comming from inside the door (the thing which holds the door in place when the door is open)
I have replaced the ARB with the updated VW Polo ones and that has worked a treat thanks to whoever posted the part number!
This is our second A2 I was on the forum originally in 2001 when i had my first one. We got this one last year and it has 90K and is running sweet apart from the above. it is a 1.4 petrol 2001 X Plate
Anyway any help / part numbers would be very helpful and much appreciated
All the best
Mark
