Kevin hall Posted October 31 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
Magnet Posted October 31 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.
Kevin hall Posted October 31 Author Posted October 31 Tried a couple of auto factors that have tried all there suppliers with no luck...only place that has them is a firm called tps...main dealers only sell the complete shaft
Magnet Posted November 15 Posted November 15 OK. Next question. Have you picked up the phone and rang them?
Kevin hall Posted November 15 Author Posted November 15 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
Magnet Posted November 15 Posted November 15 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.

Kevin hall Posted November 17 Author Posted November 17 Don't think it's getting though and what's disappointing...you've lost me
Magnet Posted November 18 Posted November 18 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 Thursday at 12:15 AM Author Posted Thursday at 12:15 AM 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
