Did manage to get an abs/traction error, implausible rough road signal! Could that be down to poorly radius arm bushes?

More likely wheel bearings, radius arm bushes will just let the axle move around a bit side to side putting more load on the panhard rod.

The outer sleeve are not metal, mate and it's not a typo.I did them once using jubilee clips and plenty of lub.The last time I used poly's, only for the axle bushes much easier and I never noticed the difference.2mm is huge! was that a typo? no way a jubilee clip will compress the outer metal sleeve of a bush? or do i need extra weetabix?

I replaced my Classic radius arm bushings with a vice. Hacksawed out the old ones quite easily. Then pressed new in with vice. But last one was tight, and vice broke in half, lol. Vice was a cheap Chinese job so no wonder! Took the arm to LR dealer and mechanic finished pressing it it for me, no charge. Top bloke.

They were a piece of pi$$ compared to the P38. They are not steel sleeved and need a tapered former to squeeze them as they are pressed in.

Silly question.. wots the sleeve made of if not metal and how do you press it in to place if there's nothing to press against? Or do you press the whole lot?
I'm sure it will become obvious when it's in my hand...

Warm them up in hot water before fitting.

Something to look forward to on my next P38 then
I never did them on the last one, sod's law I'll need to do it on the next. Bound to turn out like Trigger's broom...

Just had my AA breakdown renewal quote. Seems a bit steep at £170 for roadside+relay on any vehicle?
Any recommendations? Preferably from a firm that turns up in hours rather than days.
