With the Britpart ones I think it is just a colour difference tbh someone else may say otherwise if I'm wrong but if your not worried about losing a small amount of comfort against the polybush comfort ones then I wouldn't spend the extra as I have used them in the past on several land rovers and never had a problemThanks, do you know what the different colours are? The description of the black and the yellow britpart ones are the sameis it just colour preference?
I can see the polybush brand ones have different colours for different characteristics
How easy or hard is it to work on these things

I fitted the blue "Comfort" ones. Biggest mistake I ever made. The car was undriveable if you hit a pothole over 50mph

I have read that black is the soft version and close to original. People have said the other bushes are too hard. No personal experience.
As for Working on the P38, the engine, drive train, brakes, etc. are pretty straight forward although coil packs are hard to change. Worst jobs are blend motors and heater O rings.

They don’t say a pain ; they say a nightmare
It’s all relative.
That’s the problem.

Yes if you are mechanically minded you shouldn't have any issues, it is just the electrical side that can be finicky and confusing to sort out at times

That just about sums it up, if I at 70 and still recovering from four strokes and a heart problem can manage there's hope for everyone.

Totally the way forward and not a bad job to doI hope you put the Audi LHD matrix in while you had the dash out so you never have to do the o rings again.

Do what I have. A very good excellent neighbour who loves getting his hands dirty and knows what he is doing. My P38 has put me in hospital twice when doing bigger jobs, mind you I do have heart and other problems
BUT they are an easy car to work on. Go for it
