  3. not had any complaints thus far,fitted 4 on my bus 2 years ago. come from JP group Denmark, this is the joint only
     

  4. why has it got to be rubbish? you'd be surprised how little we make on these, priced at £15.50 to compete with VWheritage

    click on the link and scroll down a little and you will see a boot kit that is boot,bolts and grease for £9.95,we buy kits then split them up as its cheaper this way but we can also list everything seperately so if you just wanted a boot for example. just makes more sense than having to have 100 boots on the shelf and 100 complete kits if you catch my drift

  7. That's great will be ordering one soon cheers :)
     
  8. Its all my own opinion but being in engineering and a CV joint is a quite an engineed lump i just can`t see how you can get a decent piece of engineering for little more than .....Can`t beat GERMAN ...
     
  9. bigrich that's a good deal you've got there. We would use you more if your postage to the Isle of Wight wasn't twice the price of the other suppliers and more. :(

    so, to confirm (for me and to help others) i can just undo the ring of torx head bolts and the shafts come off in one and can be rebuilt on the bench? no oil seal or anything behind, just like 2 small prop shafts?
    cleaned all the crud off earlier and soaked in wd40

    lhu1281 would you recomend new bolts whatever? or if i get them off with no damage are they fine to re use? bigrich those spreader plates - are they a redesign? do they replace the star washers that lhu1281 lists? mine doesn't have them at the moment.
     
  15. spreader plates are what were originally fitted, to bays and irs bugs 1302+1303's

    never seen star washers before.
     
  16. What you said. Surprised there arent any spreader plates!!
     
  17. Originally they had spreader plates and SCHNORR SERRATED STEEL LOCKING WASHERS . You can reuse the bolts if they`re not damaged but you should get spreader plates
