Ok, I had a troubling weekend - I jacked up the D2 and had took the watts linkage off. Only to find that 2 (not just the 1) bushes had gone.
Then I found I could not press the old bush out with a vice, socket and big ring spanner - I ended up putting it all back together.
So, where do I find a full set of poly bushes for a D2 - particularly including the 5 watts linkage bushes?
Cheers

Its also worth noting that the middle bush on the watts linkage is a pivot bush, its like half way between a bush and a ball joint. its about 26 - 40 quid depending on where you buy it. It other four bushes are cheap £5 - 8 quid each

Sadly neither of these have the RGX100960 (Watts linkage pivot-arm to tension-link or, indeed, the middle pivot bush:
Do you know where I can get them for that price (watch your hands now)
If I could find the RGX100960 as polybush for a tenner each I'd bite your hand off

I would stick to the genuine parts tbh, they have lasted this long........I very much doubt you would have to do them again whilst owning that car

Thats a fair point - but £45 for one bush if there's a whole set of poly bushes out there for just over £100 then - I'd rather have the other bushes in hand.
(Should that be birds in the hand?)
Anyway it is looking like there are no poly bushes for the watts linkage pivot arm available - So I'll be forced down that route anyway

I take it you have seen this
Jaguar | Land Rover spare parts at British Parts UK
But like UP says I would go for genuine parts unless you want to fix it and flog it
