Yes I can highly recommend! Booked in last week for Monday morning, they call me at 4pm this afternoon and there complete. They even put the new tyres on that i ordered. 4 alloys fully treated, stripped and powder coated for £194. So great price, I had a 10% voucher flyer, that they have a load of Watford Costco tyres ! If you are going to do it...

 

[Reko]

Oh nice, white alloys look lovely on that

 

[shell-vt]

[imprezaworks]

Wasnt today (thursday). Tracking done and it feels gooood

 

[welshname]

This week I've done my coilpack and lambda sensor.

Only took me 12 months to get round to doing it.

 

[J.B.]

Changed the near side ball joint in about an hour already today. Result!

 

[Andyk1801]

Got really angry and felt like taking it to the scrap yard..

Went to change the front pads to find the brake carrier pistons seized, tried freeing it up and it sheared off.. No luck finding a new one around my area until next week..

Went to change the abs sensor, had to have the whole hub off to drill the old sensor out as it was stuck on... Then only to find the parts place had given me the wrong sensor..

On the plus side I fixed the electric window.. And refit the splitter as I half ripped it off on a Kerb..

Don't you just love it when a simple hours worth of work goes tits up and after 5 hours all you have done is fit a new window motor and brake pad on one side..

Know how you feel. Last saturday all I had after 5 hours were three nuts off and a seized bolt through the lower ball joint. By sunday night I had the ball joint off and then discovered the parts place gave me the wrong ball joints. Wasted half my weekend with half the job done.

 

[Andyk1801]

Nightmare buddy... Yea I had a seized but on what I guessing is the same lower ball joint... 2 massive breaker bars on either side, an a mate to help, and 15 minutes later and it was no longer seized

I put so much torque through the head of the bolt that it rounded the head. Only option was to hammer it and try to spin it with the rounded head. That's what took all the time up. That side took me around 9 hours, the other side took under 90 minutes haha

 

[BeXE]

I put some petrol in it.

 

[Andyk1801]

Wounded.. Is have just cried I think and scrapped the car through anger

 

[Owen92]

Finally de-badging my car.
