General Buddy needs a part...

[disgusted]

Hi,


A friend needs an inner cv joint for the drivers side.


What's a good outlet for this? Someone that can be chatted with rather than anonymous eBay buying...

Goes completely against what you've asked for, but at the price, it's got to be worth a look:

These must be pretty new on the scene as inner CV joints have been a dealer-only part up to now.

Would be interested to see the warranty wording on those.
I'm guessing at the very least it would require fitting by a dealer/garage.

If you're doing it yourself (or your friend is), at that price (less than 40 fags-worth) it's got to be worth a go.

Edit; CV joint work

They're probably finding their way to Europe from the China-built Multipla set up. I think I'll be investing in a pair.

It's a shame J&R don't do complete half shafts for the Multi, as their prices are very good.

Thanks folks.

There seem to be a couple of options on eBay...

What's the deal with these Chinese multiplas.. Are they actually for sale/selling well??

It appears that it's still very much alive and kicking:
