Take your pick you can also use the Rover 25 poly bush make it stiffer but last for ever.

This one is looks like a less flexible design, with out going to harder polyurethane types.

Hi John.
That does look a lot better than the original and as you say while also staying away from the less flexible power flex bush

I spotted it completely by chance while looking for a replacement for the mother in law's V6. Her V6 has a modified poly bush at the moment, but she complains about occasional engine vibration.
This heavy duty rubber bush is probably better for the TD4, which really vibrates with a polyurethane bush.

Took my poly bush out again due to noise and vibration. In the end I put a thin strip of rubber around the original loose one and pushed it back together. Still firm but quiet!
Just the bush is available on the above link's.
Very easy to change. Just remove the bolt from the large end and loosen the bolt on the small end. Swing the bar down and push out the worn bush. Press in the new bush and refit the large bolt, then tighten them up again.
Cheers Nodge. Rather than post a new thread, can I ask some more advice?
I replaced the front wishbones today. With the car back on the ground it was easy to torque the rear bush nut to 140Nm, but with not much clearance below the car and no access to a pit, I struggled to get the leaverage to torque the front bush pivot bolt to 190Nm. Must be very close, certainly more than the140Nm on the rear bush. Is this critical or will 'tight as I can get it' be OK?

Just remember that the front bolt and rear nut must be tightened with the vehicle sitting on the ground, otherwise the bushes get a permanent twist, which will make the split.
Unfortunately unless you have have a pit or 4 poster, getting those bolts tightened with a torque wrench is almost impossible.
