Title: Rear Donuts - TC?
Post by: X30XE on 17 May 2015, 15:29:25

Are these available on TC and if so roughly how much?

Or in simpler terms - more or less than the £32 for 2 Febi on ebay?

Hi Sev  :)

I'll keep that in mind for my next "project". 

However for ze Estate the good old rubber part will probably last longer than omega rustproofing  :-\

Lemforder and GM donuts are roughly twice the price of the Febi ones.

I can't tell the difference. They seem to last just as well, within the realm of replacement in the last three years afaict.

I had Febi ones before poly went in. Pauls has them now.

Well, I love it. Always wanted one  :D The Mrs has nabbed it off me though  ::)

It's only an SE model and 170k so not much of a looker.  It's currently giving me grief trying to get the tie rod end off the centre tie rod. Tried heating it up with a hot airgun but it will not budge.  :(

Yep, E38 & E39 M5 are the last worth having.
