My nearside ABS ring has come loose - local garage has quoted me £260 for a replacement, incl. labour & VAT. Am I being a tight bas**rd or is that a little overpriced?Also, would it be wise to replace both sides at the same time? |

Speak to Ryan pug_306 he'll have some 2nd hand ones. Problem is most garages charge £70 a hour or at least they do round here so even small jobs soon add up, I paid £320 recently to have my car towed in to have a starter motor replaced. Which seem a bloody lot till you start breaking it down ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

35mm for the shaft nut. I would use a good used genuine shaft as most of the pattern part ones don't last long. ________________________________________ 1998 Supercharged White Rallye1992 205 GTi6 205 Turbo 340bhp |

36mm socket is fine and doesn't need packing out. I've used a 36mm for years on umpteen 6's.________________________________________  |
