Give me one good reason why I should not junk the ones I replaced with Lemforders yesterday. I have rescued the poly bushes from the front for future use. :y

I think Jason is being more than fair, and  would honour the statement he has made, so if they go in less than 2 years, and you don't want to go the poly route, do as he suggests, buy a new pair and wait for the refund. :y

Well I am not feeling so good now, as I am sure that Lemforders were recommended not so long ago. :-/ :-/ :-/

So I wonder which ones VX are stocking as replacements, if not Lemforders. I seem to remember it was about £200 per side two years ago.

I don't think the current lemforders are the same quality as what leaves the factory :(

I rebushed my MV6 a couple of years back with GM bushes, I'm sure GayBoy will use any opportunity to check them, be interesting to see how they have lasted.

The Elite is Poly'd at the front bushes of wishbones, its highlighted a wheel balancing issue I'd never noticed before :o

Interesting, I have had wheel balance issues since I poly'd the frront of the TD.

Yes, I can agree with paying if one of the other bushes have gone.

Wish i'd polyed from the start  :y

Well if, as per the received wisdom, Lems are OE, and my originals lasted 100k on the TD, I'm hoping to get more than two years out of the new ones, and then, if necessary, fit the, almost new, front poly bushes salvaged from the Delphi's. :y

I have poly's in the front of my TD wishbones, (Delphi's fitted a year ago, don't say it, I know!!!) but the rear bushes have now gone, so I shall put the Lem's in as standard, then fit the poly bushes rescued from the Delphi's when, and if, the front bushes go. :y

The back end is an awful lot tighter now. Esp as I've done up the wheel bolts as well ;D

Sits a little high, though, IMHO.  Which probably shows how use I'd gotten to its sagging ass.


Been there, done that. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think cheap MOTs are a false economy. As said, the true cost of an MOT to an outfit has to be around the £50 mark these days, if not more when you look at the amount of kit they have to maintain to do the testing. Anyone offering them cheap regards them as a loss leader and is looking to generate further work.

I pay the full fee at my local independent garage and feel that they are always fair.

I agree that they rely on having to change some parts to make up the cost, however, our local stealer charged £29 odd for my MOT, and yes, it required work, for which I took it away and did at very little cost to me, and a further £10 'for admin' retest (As they didn't do the work). For me still a good result.  :y

don't they get injector problems..and dual mass fly wheels

Yep, son has a nice '51 plate with only 75K rotting in his garage, (no cash to run it) which had injector problems shortly before it was laid up. Fortunately a reprogramme sorted it, but can be very expensive if they require changing. :y

I forgot to mention, WIM are still recommending Falkens for Omegas, despite some anti Falken opinion on here. :-/

General Car Chat / WIM visit & Thanks to Entwood
« on: 02 June 2011, 17:48:00 »
Another excellent visit to WIM, this time with the Elite. Some difficulty with the rear o/s track rod, but geometry Technician Peter did a splendid job, I also had two Conti Sport Contact 3's fitted to the rear. I had not really pushed the car so far, but had a bit of fun on the return on the back roads, and it handles beautifully. I finished the day off with a visit to Chez Entwood, who very kindly pointed out useful bits of the car which may, in the future, require my attention. He also gave it a test drive and checked for codes - none stored - so we can head North next week in good shape. Thanks very much Nige.
