I need my rear subframe bushes done but dont have the correct tool and hear its pig to do without. Is there anyone in the bucks area that has the tool and can change them for me?

You can make a tool to draw them in from bits lying around the average workshop, or about £10 if you buy new parts.
Old ones can be removed with a hole saw and a hacksaw.
The part where the job can go wrong is if the old alloy bushes break off in their sockets in the body. Special tools won't help in the slightest if this happens, and ingenuity and plain old fashioned brute force will be needed instead.
