ROVER CLASSICS ON HOLIDAY

[josephp6man]

hi all,
just to let everyone know i am away on holiday. i spent a couple of hours trying to leave a message to say so and the phone i use has packed in working at being able to leave a message saying i am away. no problems i thought, i will take my home phone into the office, plug it in and leave a message as the answering machine works on that, i do this and no dial tone. plug my work phone into my home line and no dial tone, don't ask me why as i got frustrated yesterday to say the least. any way to cut a long story short and before i jet off to the states for some more NADA's i will be away until the 10th march.

Hi, I have just measured up one of my spare joints and the large one is the
right one:-

P.S. It is the same one for the bottom joint as well.

Thanks too Colin, i have ordered some but from a seller who posts a little quicker- need to get it done in the 10 days.
All the places locally i could think to call, all said the same thing.
Only whole ball joint assemblies for sale. They're all very aware of the new MOT requirement, but still don't have them?
Some money making to be made here i think!
The seller i bought from has sold dozens in the last couple of weeks, and not much else :roll:

I got mine from these guys, although I did buy off their ebay shop as it was cheaper.

Tell a lie, I actually got them from these guys http://stores.ebay.co.uk/pge4?_rdc=1

But did look at the other supplier early on.

 

[herts2000]

hey jim let me know how they fit?

 

[corazon]

Shall do, they look right. Arrived this morning after ordering yesterday afternoon.
1st supplier Richard linked to, £1 more but I wanted them in a hurry..
I think i'll do both sides while i'm at it, the (non failure) passengerside one is different.
More of an hourglass shape?
Jim

 

[herts2000]
