Practical use for an old Balljoint

[Archie]

I meant to put this up ages ago and just came across it again. I drive past it every year in Mull.

OMG £96 for a rubber boot FFS.

£35 for two antiroll bar rubers
£125 + vat for a front shocker (plus an arguement about the fact that you must replace both - not at that price)

got one in the garage at the moment waiting for a second hand shocker (£70) to arrive .....

makes me glad to be poor

Sump plug for a Lotus Esprit: £10 + VAT from Lotus.

£1.48 from B&Q (it's a 1/2" BSP blanking plug).


Glove box lid catch for a TVR? Loft catch from B&Q mate, yours for £2.99.

TVR balljoints? Buttons; try your motor factors and ask for Cortina ones.
Well, unless you have a Griffith/ Chimaera, in which case they were ex-Lada
