Having changed the rear springs and link rods now need to do the front link rods.  
Anyone had experience with MIELE versions or is there a better alternative?

Paul, have look at this entry  Wink and be sure to look at the link in the first entry.
 
It is accessing the top nut in the 'shroud' that caused me a problem.

As it's attached to & turns with the MacPherson strut if you put it on full lock you can get at the nut without having to bend a spanner.
 
Not tried the MIELE ones, have a look at this thread:

Thanks Lads,
census seems to that as they're cheap and may need regular changing and the alternatives come out at about £35/pair no brand seems to offer an advantage. Surprised the originals lasted this long (102k).
 
I'll just pick a set and go for it.
 
Cheers
 
Paul
