Right - I have had enough of the knocking and creaking from the offside rear so I spayed the outer upper and lower wishbone to hub bearings and the creaking dissapeared.I have been to Land Rover and purchased the bushes - 1 x RHF 00260 , 1 X RBK 500220 bushes and 1 x RYU 00001C circlip.
Has anyone done this job before and if so do you have any hints and tips please ! I have access to a 15+ ton hydraulic press if needed

There's a post on here somewhere showing how to do this, try using the search facility

Thanks - had a search through and found a bit of info. Just ordered a kit for changing Vauxhall Vectra rear rose buses - apparantly there the same size as the Range Rover bushes and its a doddle with the tool.Found a 'How-to' on the Vauxhall site with descriptions and photo's - looks a breeze Well come the weekend and we shall see !

I'm still hoping my old Ford Cortina void bush tool will come in handy, reading your post, it may well be of use!

Lots of info in RAVE on changing bushes. I've got some squeaks too, which is why I've been looking! Haven't got as far as working out which ones need doing yet though.

There's a thread w/pics in the froum at RR.net. Search there.

The press won't do you much good unless you remove the entire suspension uprights - load of work. You need to build an extractor w/threaded rod and appropriately sized tubing/sockets.

(wife thinks I'm nuts - prob right, too)

Thanks for that guys - I have searched RR.net and there is loads of info and pics regards this matter - it is known in the trade as the BMW creak ! Anyway I have ordered the tool as mentioned in my previous post and have a complete range of tools including sockets , washers and threaded bar ! The advantage of being a multiskilled engineer
Roll on the weekend and let battle commence

My Indy says bushes can be so tricky they prefer to just replace the whole arm...(Cheaper in long run)

Good luck I hope you can prove them wrong

Be interesting to see how you get on. Harris Mayes rarely try to avoid a job as they are very efficient and good value. On a D3 the Lower Arm and Bushes is £120 a pair and only minutes to fit compared with removing the bushes....
