Definitely take it somewhere else.

Except those roll bar bush clamp bolts are very difficult to get to. Hard enough to get a spanner to them, impossible to get a drill to them. Pete

Two of the bolts you can see the end of the thread from under the car, so on a ramp may not be to bad to drill out but the third one is captive inside a welded cross member so impossible to see captive nut part and drill, however as the thread on that one is not totally exposed to the element might be one that will come out intact, If you remove the front propshaft it may give more access to the passenger side bolt heads to get a better fitting six sided socket and see if they will undo, might also be worth soaking them in penetrating oil for a few day's and take it to someone who has the right special tools to fit the bolts.

Having had both front and rear ARB's replaced on my MY10 3.0ltr I can relate my experience.

Thanks, this makes sense. Is it safe to leave the it the way it is then or what should my next steps be? |

If it was my car, I couldn't live with it and would try and find a good indi who will be able to properly assess if they can do the job. Armed with the information gained from here, you can ask a few pointed questions so you are happy they know what they're doing. It may be that you will have to have the body lifted if the worst happens, and it would be worth getting a quote in case so you know how wallet draining it could be.
