I may replace the chassis on my c reg 1986 110 Land Rover,

so one of my questions is 

what’s the best Polly bush kit 

orange or blue?

road use mostly don’t really intend on going off road in it. 

[daveturnbull]

Neither. Use genuine metalastic bushes.

Haha. Dave beat me to it!

Unless you are really sold on them, go rubber, genuine.

If you do really want them for whatever reason (longevity, ease of fitting) then go with superpro, no others are really worth the money IMHO.

Dave and Reb beat me to it.... Stick with genuine metalastic bushes. They give a much nicer ride IMO on and offroad. Poly types will also let water into the bores they sit in and can wear them enough that metalastic bushes will not go in again.

Last conversation with The Parts Guys Who Know Everything confirmed what's been said above - genuine or SuperPro.

Ful set of Superpro bushings on my 110, got fed up with rubber bushes perishing & going soft if they got contamination from oil leaks.

First set of bushes on mine did about 20 years so the second set have a few years to go. I only used genuine though.

Then your chassis will go rusty

So orange it is then 😂

Well I am going to throw a curve ball in here!! I fitted genuine Polybush red to my 200tdi 90 12-15 years ago. Reasons for doing so were because I had replaced some of the standard bushes more than once and I wanted the firmer bushes as I tow 3500kg a lot. Yes I think they might make the ride a little harsher but on a 90....it is questionable 

 

100k miles later and I rebuilt the truck fully onto a new chassis. In that time I had replaced the panhard bushes once. The bushes I removed when I did the chassis showed very little wear or none at all but given it was all apart I replaced with new genuine polybush red again and figure I am good for another 100k miles. Plus removing all the Polybushes was a doddle compared to the hassle pressing the old ones out all those years ago

Have I missed an in joke?

Isn't the suggestion above for Blue or squishy Black?

I think he is meaning the colour of a rusty chassis rather than the type of polybush.
