Best place for these bits

[darkbluesheep]

Looking to get some bits done to my 172 Cup, and just want to know if you can recommend a specialist within a decent driving distance from Basingstoke. I know of Rentech and K-Tec but is there anyone else I should be looking at? What happened to Stone Automotive?

I want to get the following done...

Inner&Outer ARB bushings (purple powerflex ones)
Inner&Outer track rod ends
Wishbone bushings (purple powerflex ones, unless there is a better alternative)
Steering rack bushings (i have genuine renault ones i order a while back so just need fitting)
Sort out a sweak i am getting since fitting PMS solid top mounts and brace kit.

What sort of cost am I looking at for all that?

cheers

Inner&Outer ARB bushings (purple powerflex ones) Ebay
Inner&Outer track rod ends Adam
Wishbone bushings (purple powerflex ones, unless there is a better alternative) Ebay
Steering rack bushings (i have genuine renault ones i order a while back so just need fitting) Local Specalist
Sort out a sweak i am getting since fitting PMS solid top mounts and brace kit. Local Specalist

I bough all my Powerflex bushes on Ebay, was even cheaper than from Powerflex directly. About £150 from memory.

Adam (Renault Man on here) is the best place for genuine parts.

Then just take whatever you can't fit yourself to your local specialist and get them to fit for you, exactly what I did.

cheers dude, i know i can buy the parts from the places specified but I dont have the know how/tools to fit them myself. Ideally look to take it into a specialist and get them to do the lot for me.

That's what I did. Can't say how much that specific work cost though as I had it done amongst a load of other bits.

ah i see, where did you take it to get the work done?

Mike at MWM in Staines did mine about a year or so ago when he changed my belts and fitted my cams.

darkbluesheep... you're only a little over a half hour away from Mike (MWM) in Staines. Drop him a line and go from there.

EDIT: Reading fail, v800mjh already mentioned Mike above... d'oh.
