Title: Eurocarparts
Post by: 4ndy on January 18, 2018, 05:29:40 pm

Praise indeed for ECP today. Added TRW l & r ball joints to my basket. Opted for next day delivery but missed the cut off at 4pm.
  Not giving up I phoned local branch at 4.15 to be told I could have them today as one of the lads passes on the way home. Win Win with me getting my ball joints and the driver getting a flyer home.
  Bloody ball joint are a NIGHTMARE   Bolts snapped as soon as they saw the spanner. I should have torched them but decided to use brute force  :grin:

That's good service. I got the TRV's from EPC on mine after the same thing happened. I think those 3 bolts are very exposed to puddles and alike, I think that's why they are so bad, Nearside is normally worse.

One of few components under there where if the bolts snap, it's no biggy!
