I've got some David but I have not opened the box yet. Apparently there should be a 100ml bottle inside. |

Jesus wept, that is expensive, from my limited knowledge, would I be correct if I thought that something like the below link is the same as the LR product ? This stuff - Red rubber grease - is perfect for use with rubber as in bushes / 'O' rings etc.

The Land Rover stuff is a liquid and is a sort of barley colour.

I paid £31.95 for a bottle. I've read somewhere that you have to leave it to cure for 24 hours. |

Thank you gents, if it's done that to the paint brush and takes 24 hrs to cure, it is definitely not the same, good warning to wear gloves. When I do mine I will buy the LR stuff. |

Mine are the same Kev, mount MOT advisory. I just want to get it done though, but I don’t expect to feel any difference once they’re changed, it drives very nicely at the moment already. Current: Range Rover L322 4.4tdv8, Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 2, BMW 535d Touring, Skoda Fabia, BMW S1000XR |

Rubber grease is for seals that have to maintain some compliance during their service life, the LR sealant, is well, sealant, not lubricant.

I have done this job today on my TDV8 and would like to add that there are two rivets in the subframe for each bush, which I could not remove. Had to use force on the tool to shear off the rivet.
