Well that's a ball joint for £7.49 each.
Edit: Actually, is that even for the suspension?

It isn't really the parts mate it's the labour. Front springs for my car are only £35. However it's 2 hours to fix so that's £80 if you're lucky.
I know, I'm not expecting to pay parts only.Originally Posted by Magic
But when they're charging £6.50 to change a brake light...
I know, really no excuse not to be doing that yourself though mate.
Also I've been looking at cars because I'm a mong, determined my next one will be a black man's willy for around 7k. Probably ex-company car with meticulous FSH or a single owner jobbee.
I won't be getting another car that's any good whilst I have company cars though. Amazing what 7k can buy you.
Why are you buying a car if you've a company car?
Are you thick?
My company car is branded.
I'm a twit
I'm certainly missing something anyway, because I thought you just got a new Golf. Enlighten me.
Please see above.
I read that as that you'll never have another good car unless you buy yourself one as they don't get you good ones.
Then you ought to take some English lessons with your local college.
I shoud realy.
Why is Magic buying a car again?
Watch out as you can get some cheap shite on ebay if you're not careful, which that most definitely appears to be.
Assuming that is the ball joint that's fucked, here are some- http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/...1cea432&000019
At the top left of the arm-
You can get cheaper but 'buy cheap, buy twice' is a good rule with stuff like this and it's still a load cheaper than what Halfords are quoting- £53 for both with discount code applied. But I'd be checking they are the knackered ones before ordering anything.
Work keeps buying him shit ones so he's getting a BMW.
Got my car back (although I need to take it back to the crooks for the free retest) and it only cost £80 for the repairs.
I am now the proud owner of a Skoda Octavia. Taking it for a test drive with the salesman as my first ever drive with a full licence was a bit lol though. 'Erm... looks like it goes. Must be a great car.'
Insurance though
My early driving career suggests that everyone drives 20mph too fast at all times (vans and silly 4x4s 40mph too fast).
What's the point of even having speed limits?
How are you finding the car?
Aye that's a pain. I bloody love hogging the outside lane (come at me) and these cunts doing 90 just ruin it for everyone.
I don't know how people can stick to the limits, they're so damn slow and it's boring.
Decent. Drives very smoothly, clutch very forgiving and to be honest I was sold when I got the dealer to look up the records and this model was in the first month's worth of production to have a timing chain as opposed to the stupid belt

Stop fishing.
Very nice. A lot of people don't like the split headlight facelift but I think it really suits them. Beaut of a car.Decent.

Only 6 days into the new car before one of the local thugs smashes one of the wing mirrors in.
One of those crimes that the police couldn't give less of a shit about and there is no way of either preventing it or catching the perpetrators.
That sucks. My mate had his car jimmied open and the CD player taken from it twice in the space of a year in Belfast.
People still steal CD players?
Apparently so. It wasn't even a particularly great piece of equipment.
Jimmys no claims being fucked over in 6 days is quite impressive.
Why would you claim for a wing mirror? Just get another one and replace it yourself.
So you get it for free?
Yes.
As if Jimmy would know how to replace a wing mirror.
His butler will.
Excess might be high. Plus electric/heated mirrors ramps up costs.
Claim for a wing mirror? Might as well claim for bird shit on the bonnet.
You'll pay more in the long term by claiming.
Yeah it'd have to be a fair prang to be worth claiming.
Aussie cred has gone through the roof.

Just booked my driving test. Mid-July was the earliest I could get, what a load of shit.
Fucking hell.Aussie cred has gone through the roof.

Had the car completely smashed up over Saturday night. Two windows through, two more attempted, few dents, both wingmirrors done. Probably borks my insurance for the next 20 years.
Police couldn't give less of a shit either about the specific crime, or about the wider issue of drugged up children in the area. Three local shops/restaurants and plenty more cars got done the same night.
The fuck? Is it a bad area or is some cunt just taking offence to the new car?
It's a nice area but there is a known posse of 15 year olds (I even know some of the names) who do drugs every night and smash things up. I think I've just been hideously unlucky.
Can we get some hate for those fuckers that slow down when overtaking in the fast lane, then go back in and speed up? Cunts.
That's shit. Hopefully they overdose or something soon.
All the hate is reserved for imbeciles that think there's a 'fast lane' in the first place.
Overtaking lane, then.
Then yes, they are indeed cunts.
I know it's not correct for highway code wankers but I love the outside lane. Fuck having to switch between the two or move over when someone comes on a slip road, I just want to put cruise control on and stay where I am.
I love just sitting in that lane and if someone comes behind me wanting past I just move in and then back out again, Added seethe this creates makes it even more worth it.
