looks like Iam going to have to do it myself as usual 
I suppose if we can strip the engine out and rebuild it some rear bushes shouldn't be a problem.

They go behind the two rearward bolts, and add some toe in to the rear wheels.
Whether or not they make any difference I don't know.

please explain to me why a car with negative camber that is wearing the tyres on the inner edge would benefit from more toe in ? would that not just accelerate the wear on the inner edge?
