Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Rear headlight leveling sensors x 2

« on: 04 June 2020, 14:13:43 »

I have 2 x rear sensors that are intact and worked fine on the cars with no warning on display, a tad dirty but I'm not attacking them with a wire brush to make them pretty as we know they are a bit delicate, both still on original brackets

£32 each posted

I also have 1 x front that again worked well with no warning but sensor arm needs a couple of cable ties to stop it popping off .....derisory offer welcome

General Car Chat / Main dealer/ shoddy work

« on: 18 November 2018, 09:58:12 »

The 2.2 I am breaking currently had a brand new engine fitted by a local main dealer which I imagine would have cost a small fortune, I removed the gearbox yesterday and was surprised to see it being attached with a variety of odd bolts, nuts and bolts not even of the right size and worst of all a couple of manky old exhaust studs had been cobbled into it , disgraceful
