Have managed through David Gerald to get two of the original anti vibration units that sit in the rear chasis. Question - is there meant to be a washer to sit between this unit and the 'alloy' frame ??
Any advice regarding set up would be appreciated

Sounds like your at the same stage as me. I clearly remember removing all nuts & bolts and then clearing up. The next day I lowered the diff onto the floor, whilst lowering two washers fell from above the diff mount. In answer to your question I would say yes.
As for my trailing arm washers, one with the nut behind the chassis. Then 3 between the arm and the bush, the bigger nearer the chassis and the other 2(same size)towards the arm. Hope this helps, I feel a debate coming on....

Wern't the washers for the diff the metal with rubber bonded to them?

Tried to reply but returned undeliverable, any how try through PH.
Just been returned as well, so here goes here.
I was lucky that they were ok so didn't need new ones.. They were first
off after the nut if memory serves me. But looking at the bible they
seem to be between the diff carrier and anti vibration mount, so maybe
mine were wrong from new. Will try to find my Haynes jag book and see if
its clearer.
