As long as there's no sharp (dangerous) parts on the bumper then you're ok Needs to be secure and not split, but even that can be gaffa taped. Sounds to me like you just need to fit the starter, take it in for the trst, then fix the things it fails on. Simples and you get 10 days to do it in free. Fact
Torsion bar reduction is ballocks unless you've gone way too high and have your lights in the sky like Rick said. In which case it's your fault anyway

I'll have to ask about them, I admit, the torsions are high but not ridiculously. He says its putting stress on the joints

You're right it should be 15/20mm lower at the front, but level is hardly anything to bust a gut over. Certainly not stressing any joints , appart from your dad's

Hope it doesn't fail on much then, the time it's taking to fit a starter motor he'll need 10 weeks
