Everybody else's jobs must seem cheap and reasonable to you goldie, you must have a face like an under done scone to be bled of 1600 notes for a compressor.
Doesn't seem like you would know the first thing about reasonable charges. imo.

Not sure on why rusty hub is an issue when changing a caliper.... 10 minutes to change a caliper in my world, not 3 hours:confused::eek:

Not sure what ball-joint and bottom arms have to do with changing calipers either.
i thought we were changing a strut and did the caliper at the same time.
if you read the thread there is trouble getting the caliper off which is why i thought it was relevant

hell hath no fury like a man scorned, what got down your snorkel ??:confused:

Still no requirement to undo any ball joints even if we are talking struts, all you undo is top 3 nuts and the 2 stub bolts, thought you did yours??.:confused:
 
Caliper is 2 bolts and a flexi, it's not even a requirement to undo the carrier unless new caliper comes with carrier, any mech would have that off in 20 minutes if rusty (I'm being gracious here) so to be charged 3 hour is a p(ss take, even at £30p/h.
Just giving my opinion on mechanic, and i'm being gracious calling him that!
 
What the **** do i care, i thought the guy was getting a caliper changed and also a a front strut which may have been rusted and the guy was going to spend some time sorting it out for him, if you want to change it for him for £60 then crack on lofty !!
 
I'll have my snorkel back please HC.....hey you bit the end off, wtf:eek:
I read caliper, pads and sensor @ £128 for parts (probably about right) with labour @ £90...... the other caliper swap is quoted (not done yet) for 33% less foldings.
I read inept mech,,, 5 HOURS to do 2 caliper n pads, I mean, come on!

All this within a strut thread when maybe it ought to be a new thread.?

Hope mech never let car out the door on one new and one old caliper/pad combo!

ps. I'd do it for £30 a side and possibly think I covered myself, not robbed anyone.

I'm all good, i only posted two in a row because i couldn't be bothered to edit the first one :)
Ahhhh...... I've just looked at the post numbers. There must be person/s on ignore posting in between but I can't see them, so it shows 4 posts from you in a row. That clears up the confusion about that but not my general confusion o_Oo_O

I've got a 'part worn' battery, no idea where it's been or whether it's in date, but it may take you to a destination, couldn't guarantee plural though, soz.
LOL, I once got a tyre from the Iraqis in town, but only to make a matching set of Pirellis.

Coming along nicely then :)
I have had this battery in for a couple of years now and no complaints
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-Car...411256?hash=item35d990c938:g:-XIAAOSwTapV6xsC

These seem a good price but check it is the same battery or have a search through their site

Depends on your spec. If you have Vogue or Vogue SE you need the 110Ah , CCA 920. Lower spec models are ok with the lower spec battery.
 
Battery replaced with bosch 110 a 920cca surprising how doing that has changed rr surprising much of a difference it makes you wouldn't think that a bad battery wood effect air suspension that much
Next project is cluster renew Lcd display and all stepper motors as 2 out of four are broken I have all parts been quoted £62 to do repair at akspeedo send cluster away etc etc
