i am after a bit of help peeps
I want to get the bushes done on my car
not gonna do it myself gonna get my mechanic to do it
(he is gonna charge Ԛ£45 each side for fitting if i supply the parts)
but i want to know if anyone has any ideas of how much the parts are gonna cost
and if anyone can help me out with some part numbers

Only ever bought these for an E21 before, but from the dealers they're fairly cheap - I think subframe bushes are Ԛ£20ish and they'll be the dearest.

Let us know, I need these doing myself!

Bushes from GSF are about Ԛ£9 each i believe , but i have seen a few posts here sayin they are a bit naff , apparently Powerflex ones are the way to go , sumit like Ԛ£50 a set ive heard.
The price for the job is fairly good , the first place i asked at wanted
Ԛ£140 + vat , ive now got a place to do it for Ԛ£50 if i get the bushes
So im gonna go for the P Flex option , then i wont have to worry about it
again for ages
