Just been on to GSF - they have discontinued the better quality rear wishbone P bushes
Can anyone recommend anywhere for a suitable replacement - or will it have to be Citroen? There are loads on eBay - but I'm dubious about their quality...
P Bushes - recommendation?

My Xantia has Sasics, which are just so-so. You can also get a good spread of other reputable brands - Febi, Delphi, Moog, Corteco; from memory including OCAP on the lower rear bushes which would be one of my preferences.
I've been shopping a fair bit with a German mob called "Genuine-Parts". The catch is, you need to spend a few hundred at a stretch to make a real dent in savings. Otherwise, if you have any contacts with an address in mainland France, they could shop via one of the French stores like Oscaro.

Nope - he just said it's been coded 'D1' I think - essentially a deleted item. He only offered the cheaper (crap) versionred_dwarfers wrote:I find it very odd that your GSF salesman is shrugging that off so quickly, if they can't get an item from their usual supplier they will usually spend a bit of time sourcing an alternative.

What a mare...
So I ordered some Delphi bushes. Arrived at CES - TD294W - TD295W. Boxes marked up with correct parts - however they were both TD295W inside
Got a refund for the extra TD295W. Called around - Eurocraparts had one in their distribution centre. Ordered it. Went to get it and it was a crappy Q-Drive part
So - called Delphi UK - none due in until week 46 - mid November!!
Just as well I cycle everywhere - my poor car has been sat on the drive for months now.
Anyone recommend the next best and as close to OEM s possible available in the UK? I've looked at a few now and they are definitely less substantial with the rubber bushing - can't see them lasting long. The Delphi look very close to OEM.
Thanks!

Give AEP a call. I've just got some from them and they seem good enough. Can't recall what make they were but they were German.
In general I find AEP very good. Very knowledgeable sales staff, especially Paul. I find AEP generally very helpful and they do excellent quick delivery...
