This is unjustified. So let's get a little balance in this:

I emailed danroberts[at]duckworthlandrover.co.uk which was the address he posted himself on the mat topic.

I found Duckworths to be as good as Paddi says on the occasion I bought something from them. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I have bought a few bits from Dan and never had a problem. Always found him responsive with enquiries and parts have always been shipped as agreed. I used the PM facility on this site as opposed to emailing.

Spoke to Dan at Duckworths who checked which parts I needed against my VRN, then sent out the bushes and clamps as requested, happy with the service. I'll update on knocking noise once the new bushes are fitted. |

OK, finally got the bushes fitted. No more knocking noise!! Easy job (though the fitter in work did it for me, with the use of a ramp), made easy by the use of a swan-neck spanner, meaning the only other bits to remove were the gearbox tray and fuel cooler. Total cost was about £25 for bushes and brackets, and a £10 for a drink to the fitter..... |

Think that's what is known as a result Your fitter must be a top bloke to do it for a tenner. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Need to update my location, not there anymore.......it really was pretty straight forward though when you remove the tray and use a 'swan neck' spanner for the bolts...I reckon half hour in total if you were in a hurry |

No, I carried out the test as recommended by Disco Mikey but no clunk at 10Mph test. What I had was a slight knocking noise over small bumps, uneven road service or small pot-holes. It didn't take much to cause the knock, but now all sorted. Hope this helps...... |
