Heavy Rain stopped play twice yesterday but anyway Subframe out.

Getting the prop shaft disconnected from the diff was a pig it was well rusted in!

I made two discoveries
The Dif breather was missing just a threaded hole where it once was!

The threaded inserts in the self leveling switch has reacted with road salt, swollen up and cracked the plastic so I will have to fit a new insert and use araldite to do a decent repair to retain the thing. also the centre linkage ball joint is very stiff where rust has formed on one of the balls.
I thought my headlights were not adjusting for load correctly now I know why.

I made up a wooden jig to support the rear assembly and bolted it to my little trolley jack and that worked like a charm
I could not get the back boxes off in situ so I thought *** it do them later.
