DMGRS on here was recently offering full sets of new rear suspension links etc for only a little more than your price for 2 wishbones. Worth a call. I'm taking my wheels off tomorrow to find out why mine is so rattly over poor surfaces, so |I may well be ordering a set. My daughter rang in tears tonight. Bought a low mileage 2011 Polo from the main dealer 3 years ago - £10,000+ for car with 2 year warranty and full Peace of Mind cover. Just paid £300+ for full service and health check, incl 2 new tyres. MoT fail on worn out shoes and drums at 69,000miles, quoted £300 to replace incl labour (HOW much per hour?) She just spent £500 for 2 coolant pipes and the manifold replaced at Christmas. She'd had a bad experience with her previous car having inexplicable intermittent starting problems, and wanted a known reliable make. I told her after a quick check, that I can get Pagid parts for under £50 from Euro Carparts, so she's taking it to an indy tomorrow. If you looked at her bills, and not the car's re-sale value, you'd scrap it. And at the end of the day, it's just an anonymous Euro-box!
