^ as said, get the bush repair kit, the arms are quite expensive for a a few pieces of metal so have a look in local scrappies or the classified section. I've still got one I never fitted to my Driver and not sure if it's suitable for the GTD, but I'll keep it non the less as it will come in handy one day.

you're probably looking at about £20 for the lot, I seem to think the bushes are abpout £3.50 and the rods are about £15... hardly breaking the bank and well worth it! Very easy to fit, there must be a whole bunch of guides on here, but if you're logical and replace them one at a time then you cant go too far wrong.

they do them here, bottom of the page:

Thanks for the recommendation Reasty.  I have seen those B and B kits on eBay, but wasn't sure of their quality.  Might give them a go now - anyone else tried them?

I used their bush kit recently and couldn't believe the difference it made to the smoothness of the gear change, although I did also put in a weighted shift rod at the same time which makes the whole changing business more precise feeling. Well worth the faff and the dosh.
