Given your various locations I guess you've got some options, would obviously prefer to fit genuine myself, problem is a chronic shortage of funds.

Reminds me, I actually did have a 'tame' dealer back in the day, when I had a Land Rover - Patrick at Stratstones in the Greys Inn Road, would always do a reasonable price, and once, when he screwed up on an order and I suggested (half-jokingly) by way of compensation he should sell me a replacement gearbox at cost price (£600 rather than £1k+) he agreed, I was going to take him up on it but then (curses!) I bought a flat and found a girlfriend...

For what it's worth, went to GSF Tottenham today, they had the bushes in stock, part number 732VG0010, 96p including VAT.

If you put that part number into their website it will tell you it doesn't fit your car, but the website is lying.
