HI, my 98 xantia 1.9 td estate failed its MOT on drivers side rear bushing worn. He did not say what bushing is gone but how many bushings are there on the driver side back suspension? Is it a big job to change these.

Are you sure he meant a bush on the rear suspension? The rear suspension bushes on Xantias are fairly durable, I've dont remember hearing about anybody on this forum ever changing one.
There are quite a few posts about replacing the rearmost of the two bushes on the front suspension arms, they seem to go pretty commonly, I wonder whether it is in fact that bush that needs replacing.
