I can get in/out of the footwell no bother and I'm heavier taller and older than most :-)

Brunty did the bushes on my car - thanks Brunty - IIRC all the usual problems with the elise - seized nuts and bolts and some access problems. The other problem is that the bolt seizes to the metal bush while the rubber perishes, so you cannot get the bolt out all the easily.

When reassembling be sure to use something like copper grease on all bolts so that you have a chance of getting them apart again!

Cheers,
Robin
