Have my MOT coming up in the next few weeks and as part of my 65k service in October there was an advisory on the Anti Roll Bushes.
Dealer is quoting £200 incl VAT for supply and replacement of the front 2 can anyone advise as to whether or not it's a big job as the parts have been quoted to me for £30 incl VAT.
Thanks in advance.

it took me 20 minutes although I did have the use of a ramp. drivers side is really simple - 2 minutes. Passenger side slightly more awkward as the top nut is difficult to get at. I used a short socket with a UJ and extension bars.
200 quid sound a bit steep to me to be honest. I would expect it to be more like 50-60 for the labour. Parts can be obtained form Nick at Yeovil Land Rover and they are about 23 quid if memory serves.

Dealer is trying to rip you off. Easy to fit and all you need are the spacers when are cheaper and even easier to fit. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
