Bad Timing
hobbit:
--- Quote from: "pdutton" ---well the 2nd car - my Galant V6 failed. - excess play in n/s front bottom ball joint
it's only 4 years old.
Going to cost me £110 + vat to fix.

What is the joint, some of these are bolt on units, with fairly easy access to do. Others can be riveted, but come with nuts & bolts to refit when you have drilled/knocked out the rivets.
Thats presuming its not a complete arm
Topple:
the complete arm needs replacing, can't just replace the joint.

I hate that - the price whilst outrageous is probably fair in this case. I don't know what UK law is like but here in NZ I'd try invoking the Sale of Goods legislation and get them to replace it for free based on "reasonable lifespan".
Topple:
The defender failed its mot today :cry:
2 things -
broken number plate - thanks to the last outing at weston coyney (thought I may have got away with it)
centre brake pipe corroded.
not bad really for a 12 year old and cheaper to get through than my 4 year old galant. :D
