The suspension has gone clunky over bumps and ruts with nasty feedback through the steering wheel. This, combined with the MOT man mentioning some under body corrosion has persuaded me to stick the car on axle stands and do some work.
I will try to do fairly regular updates on progress, even if it is only slight progress, just so you know I haven't been crushed beneath the car.
There will be lots of pictures as people like pictures.
First get the kit you need

Round to the back and jack positioned just in front of the rear diff

Once I had both ends raised I had to jack the front of the car up a bit more and re-position the axle stands as they had started leaning backwards when I raised the rear of the car. All raised and level now.

Now I guess I ought to start doing something as you can see the corrosion.
