Hi all,
My 2003 Auto Serengeti recently passed the MOT with one Advisory ( Rear Axle Forward Bush Worn).
Could somebody tell me if this is an easy DIY job considering I don"t have a garage and I"m a bit too old to clamber underneath the car. How long should a garage charge and should I get any other Bushes changed?

It's an easy job, which shouldn't take a garage more than 30 minutes to complete.

The front one fails long before the rear two, but you could get them all changed. I'd be looking at testing the VCU too, as a tightening VCU is the primary reason the diff bushes fail.

Thanks again Nodge.
I don"t know what inexperienced Freelander owners would do without the likes of you.
cheers

Hi again Nodge,
I have just booked my Freelander in to have the Front Bush done but he has just rung me back and doesn"t know which bush I"m talking about. Can you clarify which Bush I "m talking about?

Bush at front of rear differential. Hope the garage can do it if they can't even locate the failed bush !!
