Hi all just wondered If any knows what sort of price it would be to get old bushes removed and new poly bushes pressed in if I removed parts off land rover and took to some one thank you brido
 

Brian,

Why not do it yourself, I did mine on my 90, the biggest job is getting the old ones out but there is a way with a hacksaw, cold chisel and a wood chisel. Oh and the standard LR tool a hammer.

Put the hacksaw blade thro the bush, cut the steel liner taking care not to cut the actual rod, then use the cold chisel to collapse the metal sleeve in on itself, the wood chisel is the easiest way of cutting thro the old rubber.

Takes about 30 minutes per bush.

Putting in the new poly bushes is literally one minute per bush and its done by hand with a wee sprinkle of soap (fairy liquid) to help it slide in.

I did the complete front in a day, that was all the bushes on the radius arms, the panhard rod etc. The hard job is getting the bits off.

Emm dont know if im allowed to say this but their  a good bunch o guys.
If yer near edinburgh and can get to dalkeith area  there is a garage called 3d they got a few bushes out for me latly that saved me a lot of hassle for a very resonable price. Was a full pollybush kit i done easyily done yourself main probs seized bolts removing old bushings.
