Ive just bought the lemforder ones two ball joints & two track rod ends £83.40 didnt think that was too bad compared to renault prices.

Thats pricey IMO.

Just looked through my old invoices from GSF...

Pair of ball joints - £32.40

Pair of track rod ends - £22.80

It's circa 21 for a ball joint (singular) from ECP, as people know, you get what you pay for? I had nothing but trouble with my GSF balljoint last time.

[Harpham]

Well, that should be problem solved. f**k knows how it was wrong in the first place. Now though, there is no play and i've took it for a quick test drive and there wasn't any knocks, so all should be good in the hood.

MOT Round 3 on Monday. What's the betting that he'll find something new to fail it on??

[welshname]

Not in the hub properly I take it then???

[Harpham]

I'm assuming so. I went and bought another one this morning, just incase it was the wrong part or something. We took the pinch bolt out and the threads we're totally f**ked?! so fitted the new bolt and ensured everything was tight/no play. All is good.
Suppose this is the price I pay for being pikey and asking daddy to do things for me .

[welshname]

That will be because the pinch bolt wasn't through the notched bit of the ball joint

Hopefully it will pass now.

[Harpham]

Fingers crossed. I will actually flip if it doesn't. Booked in for Monday afternoon.

I want to start doing s**t to this car, rather than wasting money on extra MOTs.

I didn't think they could find other things, only check the original failed items? Hope it passes tho!!

I thought they re MOT'd the whole car?

[J6PKP™]

If is just a retest I thought it was only on the original failed parts. Could be wrong tho

He's already had his re-test and failed it. Hence round 3

After the retest they SHOULD check the entire car.

[Harpham]

Yeah this one will be a full retest, as 1. i've had my free retest and 2. it's passed the 10 days for the retesting.

[Jon.G]

Good luck mate!

I see why you were angry on FB

MOT Round 3.

The sunflower finally has an MOT. Now time to spend on stuff that I actually want to...

[Toby]

Result.

[Gray]

LOL.... Did you have to suck off the tester for it to pass?

[Harpham]

Nahh, just a REACHAROUND and an extra £20.

Was going to post something like that on fb.

Sticky fingers FTL.

[welshname]

Glad to hear it was just as simple as the balljoint not being fitted properly.

Now you can actually clean it
