1. The gearstick "bites" as it moves through the selectors
- is this a sign that the selectors are buggered or something else.. perhaps worn syncros? My only option is a rebuild or replacement ?
2. The brakes / steering squeak as if some / all the bushes are completely worn through
Will replacing the bushes remedy this squeal - (not worn brake pads)

After a short drive the sqeaul become less apparent yet, not altogether.
There is squeal on brake pressure / and release, also low speed steering (parking).

the squeal could also be 2 separate problems.
I'd grease it up again, and check your anti-sqeal shims are there.
if they're not, I have a spare set I scavanged off my wreck for just this sort of occasion.

sounds weird - but maybe the calipers are not fully retracting when you take foot off pedal so pads are always scraping on the disk. squeal could be coming from the pads scraping or excess dust+shit from the pads touching the disks?
front wheel bearings? (tho U shoul hear them failing when cornering)
general dust + shit on front disks? - give wheels/disk/caliper a thorough wash/spray with high pressure water (then do the brake anti-squeal grease thing)
i have to do this to my rear brakes regularly as the dust+shit seems to build up on a low spot on the drum and eventualy, it sounds like a failing wheel bearing, but after a quick bath, the sound goes - i know its the drum/axle plate not being 100% but while the rear wheel bearings are OK i'll ignore it (when i does i'll have to buy cool1's diff with disks  )
