Does you E7 have the same problem? One owner has had his front suspension replaced twice under warranty, but it will soon run out of warranty. Also had clutch flywheel replaced, and it goes through discs/pads like a hot knife through butter, and many other faults too.

Mind you, he turned down a London wait and return today, didn't want to rack up the mileage, he said :lol: :lol: :roll: :roll:

I drive the Citroen Dispatch equivelant..its the roll bar bushes right enough, ive had 2 sets of them under warranty so far, sounds like a fairly pronounced knock when you go over even the smallest bump..more so at really slow speeds.
