Finished the thread now, a good read. Anything interesting, serious or minor, to report since your last post in 2018? As a conscientious maintainer I guess there probably is. Maybe a catch-up post is in order? Long term ownership reports like this are few and far between so always useful.

Checked my engine steady bush this afternoon and I do see some small splits just starting. Exploring what I need in the way of a poly bush made me realise that I have the later alloy mount on the head rather than the pressed steel one you have on yours LB. Is it the same bush? Superflex SF (423) 1820K? This is the one in the thread but may not be the same for the alloy mount. My car is a 1999 V70XT. one of the last P1 cars.

Sorry, I've no idea, if I were you I'd speak to the suppliers and check you get the right one. All the best!
