Not been feeling too well recently and after perking up last weekend have slipped again after a day over in England

After sorting out the binding door lock and giving the battery a charge i fitted the new throttle linkage and capped off the hole where the dump valve was (it was just too chavvy) i also noticed the Knock sensor lead was worn through and earthing on an engine mount so after re-routing that and noticing the rough running and hunting stopped i was feeling a bit better.
Then i decided tomove her a bit just to turn the tyres and make sure the clutch wasnt seized and whilst doing so noticed a strange feeling when pulling away and braking, like the wheels had stopped but the car had not.
After parking up i pushed the car by hand without the handbrake on and it was rather clear the car moved but the front wheels stayed still and just moved forward and back in the arches while the car would travel up to 3"

After a quick look it would seem the P bushes are shot and after pulling the lower arm off the car the outer case of the bush just pulled off in my hand, so, another job to do and the mot date is looming, only £12 for both P bushes though and they should be here this week, had to take the O/s wheel off to get the arch liner out anyway so i could run a new windscreen washer hose through so its not all bad.
That Lower arm is going to be a right pita to refit though, the anti roll bar is pretty big and right in the way and i dont think the arm would have come out if the outer casing hadnt fallen off the bush beforhand.
