I have fitted one of the spacers to the drivers side rear bush. Noise gone!
I did it with the wheel off and the car on an axle stand. I didn't have to undo the bolt all the way. I undid both about 5mm and then used a jack to raise the control arm. This lifted anti-roll bar up making it easy to insert the spacer.
Thanks Have a nice day!

This is a picture of the front side bush. Is this original or is there already a wrong spacer in place? Would this bush create the knock?

And yes, it probably is the cause of your knock

Just to let people know, the latest part numbers, starting LR0 (sorry can't remember the rest) do not need the spacers fitting, as they are already enlarged, so just fit the bushes.
regards
Steve

Just done all four on my RRS today, now blissfully silent!! Thanks to all those who have posted tips they were a great help. The only thing that was a problem was the nearside front top nut on the rollbar retainer. Not enough room to get a 1/2 in drive socket onto. In the end after trying all sorts of different shaped ring spanners I eventually used a 3/8 drive 19 mm socket, its slightly smaller dimensions let it onto the nut and as it is only six sided internally it was enough to move the 18mm nut without burring it. Hope this helps someone else!
Cheers

Just put spacers on my rear bushes, and the difference is fantastic! I changed the bushes about a year ago after the knocking drove me mad, (nice enough job, but the spacers were even easier) and already they started knocking again, so on with the spacers, problem solved.
I only did the front bushes about 3 months ago, so I think that they will be the new modified bushes and shouldn't need the spacers. Still the spacers came as a pack of 4, so I have them if I need them. I need to dig out my paperwork and see if they have the LR**** part number.
I didn't even know about these spacers but for you guys on this forum, so a big thank you to Disco_Mikey for drawing my attention to them. Last time I spoke to Bearmach, they didn't even know they existed, and I educated them! D3 TDV6 HSE '54 plate Maya Gold (current)
