Bushes about £130ish, and then about 4-5 hours labour at a garage to get them fitted.

You dont need a ramp, but you will want an accetalyne (spelling?) burner or a damn good blow torch, they can be a pain to get out, I did my front ones in a couple of hours, but since havent been pestered to remove the back ones!

You do need a good vice or G clamps & a burner. I used a normal gas burner I purchased from Halfords this just helps free the old bushes.
There was a really good right up for this but I just can’t find it at the mo, still looking.
