I got given the wrong size ball joint which f*cked my hub
They also tried giving me a berlingo wishbone which is different
Bloody euro crap parts

i use a few but my GSF in Donny are really well staffed, they know what they're doing and the parts always seem good...

i used ECP once, and they got it wrong, i always go to gsf. there is one round the corner from where i used to live, and when i was changing the engine in my car and getting it mot ready, i was in there everyday for a few weeks. first name basis, and out of all that, only had one wrong part.
rate gsf to the nth degree, so good

Gsf gave the wrong gearbox seal so I lost most of my expensive gb oil! Have had several wrong parts from them!
Jayar have sent the wrong parts to college a few times so we can't complete tasks in the time we have.
I and my local.garage both use Ecp as they are best round here!

Phil the balljoint was your fault, should have measured it before you fitted it
Re: motor factors - Ruan - 22-03-2012
It should be fairly obvious when it's like putting your dick into Connors bum... Very sloppy, not a tight fit and generally a ballache...
Nah, because they do it on registration rather than VIN/RPO they get it wrong all the time, because a car could be made in 1995, but not actually registered until 1997 if it just sits there... Therefore it gets horribly confusing... That's why you see P plated phase 2s and T plated HDis and DTs, from that crossover point, my car was MADE in October 1996, not first registered until April 1997... Making it actually a VERY early ph2...
