My d3 has gone into a local independent garage to have the front lower wishbones done and tracking, I bought the parts from advanced factors so it's just labour, just had a phone call to say that the inner track rod ends (drumsticks he called them) are knackered and I think they mentioned something else, possibly outer track rods but can't remember, how much would be fair to add onto the price to replace these, i'v give them the go ahead as it's pointless doing 4 wheel alingnent when these parts will need replacing asap. They have give me a price but just thought I'd see what people think it should be first? Cheers in advance

I suggested you replace those at the same time for that very reason in this post:
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/post1194122.html
The repair kit from Advanced Factors is currently £82.80 and then some to ship it (not lightweight these D3 components).
Probably another hour to fit those if it's already up on the ramp.

So you did lol.
Well he has added £160 onto the price so not to bad, I was just concerned that the parts where only £20 or so and that there wasn't any extra labour. He's doing the wishbones and the alingment for £250 so not to bad once i'v picked it up I'll know exactly what was replaced, he also said the lower steering column looks fine so hopefully I'll have a tight driving knock free car when I get it back

Got the d3 back today, it's had front lower wishbones, inner and outer track rod end kit and 4 wheel alignment, what an improvement, I got the arms from advanced factors (excellent serviced) then had the work carried out by someone I know who owns north Eastern 4x4, cost me about £620 all in.
I think there's still a very slight noise hen travelling a bit quicker on uneven roads and it mean very slight. Indy said the steering column looked fine. I'll see how it goes and replace that and the arb bushes possibly what a difference though
