NOOOOOOO !! Would never dream of venturing into a main dealer, no this was from a reputable independent specialist, luckily it's the first I have had to pay for a year so can't grumble really. 2005 Rang Rover Supercharged

Is DIY an option?

Front lower wishbones can be bought for £100-£150 each, depending on quality.
ARB bushes are £15 each.

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring

Running on 20" wheels with brand new scorpion tyres, but the roads are like bleeding Baghdad after a bombing raid. So many people having repair works to wheels and suspension.

No chance of doing repairs DIY after seeing what was involved, just have to pay up and bear it. 2005 Rang Rover Supercharged

Try claiming off the local council,they are responcible for keeping the roads up to standard. I have heard of drivers getting compensation for damage caused by bad road condition itisme
