Was going to clean the steering rack up while the subframe was off, but, I found a new one for a little over £100, so I got that instead.
Paid for it yesterday morning and it arrived fresh from Mike Satur today at around 3pm. I also have new TREs.
My tip of the week is not to assume e-bay is the cheapest place to buy.
MS was advertising these on e-bay for £108 and £11.94 P&P
Went to his website and they were £100 and £11.94 (+£1.50 handling charge???).
OK. So it is only a saving of £6.50, but I would have expected the e-bay price to be cheaper.
I was impressed with the speed of delivery though.
I also had fun at Halfords.
Rang up to order 3 x cans of MG Royal Blue JFM so they could mix them before I got there.
Bloke said he couldn't mix them until I paid, so I said I don't mind paying over the phone but I had a Trade Discount card. He said I couldn't use that over the phone. I explained that I didn't have the time to wait while he mixed them etc, so after an uncomfortable pause he said he would have them ready in about 2 hours time.
I turn up around 2 hours later " Ahh crap, I forgot all about it".
Ok then I'll wait. He gave the job to a young lass who took about 20mins to make up the 3 cans.
Just about to pay, picked up the can, Hmmm..... JFN.
Girl says that was what she was asked to make and I said that's not what I asked for. She was apologetic, I think she just wanted me to know that it wasn't her fault. So, I had to wait another 20mins while she made up another 3 cans.
Good job I'm laid back.
