im looking at doing the supension arm bushes and would like info on how hard it would be to do,the car is an 05 2.7 an LR specialist quoted 900 but i think that was for the arms as well any info pointers on this appreciated.

just buy complete arms. they come with new bushes already fitted and a new ball joint.

you'll almost certainly have to cut through the bolts of the existing arms with a reciprocating saw (get plenty of good quality metal cutting blades)
so you also need new bolts set.

Parts are about £300 if your doing ARB's and Track Rod ends as well.

I did mine a few weeks ago (D3, but the same)

The stress to get the old arms off without damage and then trying to get the old bushes out and new ones in, just isn't worth it.

The job itself is pretty straight forward if only the bolts would come out of the bushes! Bodsys Brake Bible

thanks for the fast reply any info on where to get the parts as i think the front and the back need done and one thing im not short of is power tools so the bolts would,nt be a problem.

Fronts lower are about £120 each, rear upper is about £85 each. New complete Bolt sets for all four is about £75.

Best price is from Nick Lee who is parts Manager at Yeovil Landrover. Even with postage, his discount will beat local dealers.

I had both bottom arms replaced by a local independant, 2 arms £255.74 fitting £90.00 all plus VAT. Not worth rebushing, too tricky and time consuming. Good luck

90+vat is a good price for fitting  Bodsys Brake Bible

When you speak to Nick to order the parts, give him your VIN number and he'll tell you what you need to know.  Bodsys Brake Bible
