Cheers. Ebay says the seller is away until the 25th but I'll see if I can get in touch on cliosport. Anyone have thoughts on those arms?

Damn I don't have permission to view that, could you take a quick screenshot please?

I was due to collect my car from SWR this weekend off the back of getting its timing belt and front suspension refresh done but unfortunately they've said all the fasteners for holding the subframe in place (need to drop it for some of the bushes) are seized solid and will need cut off. 😭...

Back in stock and £27 cheaper a pop vs. PS3.

Thanks for the feedback although with the recent news above about the PS5, they are where I will be heading in future.

Good Lord, this is tremendous. Also an 87W XL. It's not even a question now, these will be the go-to.

I bought this late last year, I notice it's a chunk cheaper at the minute than when I bought it. New Valeo, not remanufactured- https://www.autodoc.co.uk/valeo/1081040?tduid=d83bdce103bbaf542a7078d47515c3ae

Very nice! What are you currently on?

Any canaries volunteered yet?

They're handy as you don't have to send them a set first and they give you plenty of time to post your old ones back to them as an exchange after you fit the ones they supply.

I used this service back in 2023 with absolutely no complaints- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324489563815

Criminal waste.

That’s fair enough but your tyre decisions would suggest unrivalled OCD coupled with a very healthy bank balance! 😉 I’d read the ‘prudent’ arguments years ago but I just don’t buy it if the car is looked after, got to draw a line somewhere. Maybe if you were talking about a 30 quid part it’d be...

For keeping the car off the road for months. I.e. disconnect battery, CTEK charger, full tank of fuel, fresh oil… What’s worthwhile and where do you draw the line.

Jesus Christ. I’m assuming that’s the dephaser and water pump in all these costs? My dephaser has managed 9 years no problem and the first one managed 10 years no problem (AFAIK) so you can save on that at least in my experience.
