errr I need to know if the back end i.e rear beam/axle etc is the same on estates as it is on the saloons,reason being my bushes and what not are knackered and was gonna upgrade the lot but im gagging to get the car back on the road so im gonna cheat and replace the lot as a whole with a second hand one but get new shocks and front bits that are perished,so im looking at cars for spares but didn't want to get an estate if it doesn't match my saloon......although im pretty sure the floor pans are the same on both,but it doesn't hurt to double check ;)

oh and does it have to be a t5 or can I just get an 850 n/a

Im sure they are the same I think all 4 bushes will be about 150 so not too bad and worth doing while the axel is off
