Wishbones!  :y  Never again!!  ::)  ;D

Forgot the new front brakepads as well.  :y

Never again until the next time? In a "I'm never drinking again" stylee,given Tiggers addiction to anything not gm/lemforder/mayle/anyotherknownmake....?

I'll 'ave you know that my lucky Omega has recently received Lemforder topmounts and bearings, GM camcover gaskets, KYB rear shocks, GM front pads, Febi drop links, GM HBV, approx 12 litres of 'Genuine' GM 10w40 and a pair of ATP wishbones direct from the Fatherland as recommended by that Taxi fella who dosn't get on with folk!  :P  :y

Blimey had a lottery win.

Ha no such luck!  ;D If that had been the case, it would have all been Gm parts direct from the local stealer.  ::)   :-\

Well actually probably not, because what I don't do is blindly fit Vx parts just because it's Vx/GM.  ::)

Just been checking under the bonnet of mine,, I need a pollen filter now because the one in place right now, looks like it's never been out since it left the factory.  :o Are there loads about or is it gonna be a dealer job?

PFL are easy to source. FL needs carbonised ones, which are more expensive, and less common in aftermarket. Tradeclub prices are around £5 and £15 respectively

cheers for that. It is a pfl so shall go look. Never seen a filter as bad as this one. At least it's dry down there. I also spotted the battery clamp and bolt are missing so need to source these also along with dipstick. Trip to scrappie I think.

The fronts aren't due replacement for a while...  ...although the way I'm eating Eagle F1s, that may not be too long  >:(
