Bought some revised p bushes for a partner berlingo oddly enough for my berlingo van. These were a revised version for later heavier payload vans and a much much better design I opted for a cheap set but seem to be genuine versions.
These are the ones I bought
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-PARTNE...0439783888
You can get some more expensive version at £30 each!
Easy to fit actually no real problems
The only issue I had is these ones the little m8 bolt that holds it down against the m10 securing bolt. Is actually an m10 on these there are m10x1.25 but I couldn't find any so tapped it out to m10x1.5
Going to see how they fair as an alternative to the standard p bush but also see how they fair being a cheap set to! So far so good but my tracking is out so will see after!
Any way pics!

All front suspension components are the same as a 306. Few people have Been doing this over on the 6 forum but you rarely hear about it as its pretty much fit and forget! Certainly a fair cheaper than the poly bush version. Saying that I know of a certain some one who can get a poly bus to fit....
Piggy bit of moly slip and these can be tapped on with a good tight fit

Does the hole in subframe accept an m10 bolt or does it need drilling out

People have used them for years it's not a big secret. Just allot of peopłe don't appear to know about them dispite being a cheap upgrade for the same cost as ordinary p bushes. As piggy said they used to be quite expensive which would have put people off

Is there a guide here for fitting these? I recall there being one but can't find it.
Failing that is this http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=22963 pretty much all you need?
Might fit mine at the same time as my new front shocks seeing as the droplinks will be of and everything will be a little easier hopefully.
