Ian recommended I had my steering tie rod ends replaced,which I duly did (plus the required alignment)and found the car was far more "planted" afterwards....between that and the new arb bushes the car is quiet and refined again...lovely... 8)

I'll try to find out how to send you links to threads I've been on that will tell you loads bout this subject. The opinions of others and the many trials. But in a nutshell there's:

Monkeys mucking it up for £30
May not be hunter and may not do the full sack but know LRs and do a decent job for between £60-100
Then there's the proper ones who use Hunter, use tight tolerance mode, check and adjust the ride heights blah blah from £100 to £400 from what I've read on here.

I've only had the medium option. One good and one almost effed it up by using incorrect settings even though I had the classic line "we do loads of Land Rivers each week"!

Ridgy. No worries. I'll still look out those threads for you.

One last thing though. When you had the work done. Afterwards, was the ride quality/smoothness improved? I can also imagine the steering might feel a bit better/precise if arms done too???
