Anyone tried these??

It does say 4 year warranty but in real life anything bought on ebay only has a warranty until the last day you can leave feedback. I'd be happy if they lasted say 18 months.

My cars were all were replaced with OEM by my regular dealer. I somehow think original is usually best.

Totally agree OEM would be best but at around £70 each from the dealer compared to £70 for 4 it's quite a price difference. My MOT is due in 3 months so if the cheap bushes get through this and the next MOT I would be happy. I cant see me having the car for a 3rd MOT.

I had these on my old x5 when I first got it and they were still good 2 years later

Anyone know how much it generally costs to get these fitted?

Mine cost £225 at an indy, its a pretty big job

If you're ok with the spanners, then it's a DIY job, as long as you have the right tool for the job, a certain person on here has it, and was talking about hiring it out.

That's good enough for. I'll get some ordered today

I'll be fitting them myself but I do have access to the tool for removing the old bushes.

Well I do literally everything myself, but by the time I'd payed to hire the tool etc it just worked out at like £100 to get them done so just paid, but it was a big ackward job for 2 experienced techs with all gear on a lift so might be hard as diy!

Like anything else once you have done the job a few times it's not that difficult but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as a 1st DIY.
