Ah. Out of my range and cannot think of a member nearby.

It'll be more bother and more expensive. Always is.

Yeah, nice cars when they're working.

Flat Eric?

Where's the car, roughly?

Possibly the hole the ball-joint goes into has been deformed so it just wrecks the new ball-joint? Or someone fitted Britpart.

Don't look at me. I have 3 of the sods blocking up my drive now. Need to sell one ...

I'd have to check RAVE next time I have the laptop running but it is less than you think. 90 nm sounds way too much. 25 nm sounds more likely. The high pressure pipes just need nipping up so they don't leak. Finger tips tight using a 17 mm spanner. Admittedly my finger tight which is fairly tight.

RAVE says always use a new bolt as it is a stretch bolt. Sone say you can reuse them a few times but I wouldn't risk it!

Strangely the original parts seemed to last a very long while. I think he was referring to the labour but yes, their parts prices take the urine. Jaguar used to have an owners club card where they gave discount for old Jaguars and did deals every so often so you stayed with them and got...

Pro Evo+ seem to specialise in JLR and are based not far from me in Abingdon. Guess that's their office and everything shipped from China? https://proevoplus.com/#about-pro-evo 24 month guarantee on all products, apparently. Tempted to pop in next time I am there and see if they're available...

Dunlops a bit pricey but Proevo+ about right. Never heard of Proevo+ before. Not sure I'd risk them over Dunlop, not even being 30% cheaper!

Terrano?
