If you’re handy with tools it is possible to change the front lower control arms yourself. Bolts might be seized so you might need to saw some. If you’re unsure take it to a garage. Do a search and you’ll find a few howtos with pictures.
In any case you will need to get a four wheel alignment somewhere.

Look at Advanced Factors (Site Sponsor), buy the complete arms. Use code ADFLRF for 5% off. 
fairly simple to replace, but you will probably fall into issues around seized bolts, to the point they need cutting out.
Need to mark where the bolts/ washers to put back in a similar place.
The when reassembled, will need 4 wheel tracking (ideally using Hunter kit)
Do a search for control arms or suspension arms, you should find some good info and photos. Disco4 MY16 SDV6 Landmark Black
