Kevin hall Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Has anyone bought outer cv joints for a s1...only found one place local to me in Nottingham that can supply them at a hefty price of £415 each plus vat...any other suppliers anyone knows of would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Where else have you checked Kevin? You could try Parts in Motion - suggest a good brand such as Febi. Please keep us updated on progress. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted Friday at 05:27 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:27 PM OK. Next question. Have you picked up the phone and rang them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin hall Posted Friday at 08:12 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 08:12 PM Don't worry about it...I've repacked the one's on the car with fresh grease...I emailed parts in motion plus many more with the car details and they said they have nothing nothing...think the car is a one off concerning parts for it as it's already had a rear wheel bearing/hub where one listed for a s1 wouldn't fit...the wheel stud pcd was different so had to go to main dealers and recently got some rear brake discs for it...wouldn't fit for the same reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted Friday at 08:59 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:59 PM I’m not worried about it Kevin! We are in a fortunate position here - we don’t have the problem, but we do do our best to offer advice to people like yourself when they request it. We can only hope it is appreciated, and good folks like you will express their thanks. Little ‘cost’ but it does give us the encouragement to carry on to help others. Kind regards, Gareth.

Magnet Posted Monday at 09:03 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:03 AM Thanks Kevin, It would be worth reading the Moderator’s and Administrators’ post regarding responding to - and acknowledging the help given - on this forum. I thought my post on Friday, may have encouraged you to acknowledge the response posts, but it didn’t, and sorry but being subtle doesn’t seem to work. We trust you now get the point, and apologies for pointing that out to you. Sorry we now have to spell it out, but….. Kind regards, Gareth.

Kevin hall Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago I was hoping someone might of actually bought joints and could forward a suppliers details but looks like nobody has ...and I would of thought responding to a reply is acknowledging it...only advice I was given through a sarcastic reply was to try parts in motion which I'd already tried plus various others which I stated...I'm a member of two other car clubs and have never been spoke to like the comments I've had on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
