Default Set of bushings for series 3

Now all the suspension bushings and rubbers on my car are worn out and expired.
I need to replace all for both front and rear suspensions.

Anywhere to get these bushings and rubbers set at a go to buy?

Kindly send links
Thanks

David Manners Ltd. in UK carries genuine Metalastic bushings, the ONLY ones to buy if you don't want to be doing this in another 3 or 4 years (I can tell you how I know that here. and here.)

You'll find the phone number in that thread, but connecting from your country will be different.
The man to talk to is Jack Weston. Tell him what you need and he'll take good care of you.
His contact email is <Jack.Weston@davidmanners.co.uk>

EDIT: I had little success with the David Manners web site. In fact, it mostly doesn't work.
Email or call Jack Weston for best results. /EDIT

Mikega,

I rebuilt my front end with parts from Jaguar Classic Parts Classic Jaguar Genuine OE & OEM|British Parts UK
I know these parts are not always genuine, but I have had no problems with my car. The parts may well outlast your ownership of the car.

I have checked and seen they have front suspension bushings in pack/bulk but couldn't find the rear suspension bushings

SNG Barratt is where the Poly bushings came from I put in the arms in January.
Also, that's where the rubber parts came from that Perished in 3 years that I put in during re-bush of 2014-2015.
SNG parts may have a lower price, but they will NOT be Metalastik parts unless they say so specifically.

If it doesn't plainly state they're Metalastik then they're NOT!
Rebuilding the front suspension is WAY too much work to do every 3 or 4 years because of rotten rubber parts.
And, it's DANGEROUS!

Been there, Done that, Didn't like it, Not going back!

F YI, Jaguar classic parts no longer stock many of the Metalastik parts.
