Well, a week or so ago there was a knocking/clunking sound from the rear. So I started easy and replaced the ARB bushes and drop links - unfortunately no joy. So ended up replacing the rear upper arms which was most defiantly the problem! It seems to me LR didn't really think about ease of maintenance as you have to disconnect the brake pipes to change the arms.
As usual, nothing is simple, on both sides the rear bolt and the knuckle/camber bolts were seized in so ended up cutting the bolts out, which also led to changing the upper ball joints - which was done with my home made tool. On both arms the front bush fell out and the rear bush as as in the picture.
