Off the top of my head not sure on price but I think it was less than or equal to some polybush kits, but the list of bushes is as follows;

Front radius arms
2 x bushes per arm at axle (4 total) (24mm)
2 x chassis end bushes per arm (4 total)
2 x bolts + 2 x nuts for axle end bushes
2 x nuts for chassis end (30mm)

2 x panhard rod bushes
2 x panhard rod bolts + 2 x nuts

Rear arms
2 x axle end bushes + 2 x bolts + 2 x nuts (24mm nuts)
2 x chassis end nuts (30mm nuts)
4 x chassis end bushes (bought elsewhere) 1999 Defender TD5 110

Looking at this subject at the moment too.
Did you fit the new genuine LR ones yourself? Did you have a press or a vice and big hammer?
I'm only considering polybushes as I hear they are easier to home fit than genuine, but if genuine is do-able at home they'd be a better bet. Instagram: L90andy

I got myself a 2nd hand 10t press which did the job. Yes you can use hack saws to cut out the old bushes which I did consider before getting the press and I did at one point start cutting into the metal sleeve of the bush to try and get it out until I found a suitable form to go into the hole in the arm to press the bush out. (I think it was a 1" socket) I suspect with a big vice on a decent bench you can insert new ones.

route I considered was to get a spare set of arms and fit bushes to these and swap over. I only did this with the rear arms as I got a set for a good price. 1999 Defender TD5 110
