From what I remember, the pinch bolts aren't that expensive from the main dealer.

Yep, a motor parts factors will be fine. Also get some really good quality antisieze paste. Comma copaslip is not much cop.

If it needs new wheel bearings you can get new ones via ebay just be careful to order the right ones.

copper slip is usualy fine from my experience.

And yeah be careful with bearings like check for abs and stuff, they should be fine tho realy as its different play to wishbone and track rod end play.

good luck

I got some industrial quality anti seize paste from a bolts (fasteners) factors. It has something like 40% solids content and works at high temperature. The high temperature ability is less important to me but it cost £4 for a 500ml tub.

Coppaslip by comparison is like coloured grease.
