Default Oil Service today @ Arden Maidstone

Just had the call from Arden.

All done but a few bits

Cracked rear spring - they want £370.31 to do the pair but none in stock.
OSR Lower Ball Joint Split - they want £514.98 with alignment but not in stock again.
Seized bleed nipple on rear caliper.
Brake hose clip missing from rear.
Small bit of the undertray missing at the front

Oh, and a couple of locking wheel nut covers are missing

Any idea where is best to buy a couple of springs and I'll get a mate to pop them in.

Is the ball joint splitting a common thing?

Cheers!

Phil

Just got a quote from Broadoak for the ball joint - £360 all in - and the springs are £101 each so I will probably just buy a pair and get a mate to fit them.

Cheers,

Phil

Replaced both springs today - fairly easy job as long as you have 2 jacks and a mate (Dad ) who can help push the arm down to get them out and back in.

Couldn't see what they were talking about with the ball joint but it's going in for that shortly anyway.

Cheers!
