Where are folk buying these simple parts? I cannot find any on the bay nor from blueprint, ECP etc... I would have thought they were a regular consumable? Or are they supposed to last forever?
I have noticed that the ones on my " Main Dealer serviced" car bought recently have bits of innertube stuffed between the arb and the worn out bushes... Nice get-you-home, but not what I expected to find

Bits4Vits comes highly recommended

£17 for a full kit by the looks of it.

I've got a strange feeling I might have some Vit arb polybushes in the workshop....I'll never need them as I don't own a vit

If they will fit a 2006 DDIS model, I would be interested...

Make sure you get the right ones
The 2006 are slightly more expensive so I assume they are not quite the same as the earlier type.

You need to measure the diameter of the ARB - a DDiS may have a bigger diameter ARB.
