Speak to Jason Hunter, he can get genuine Lemforder (The OEM supplier to GM) for £62 a side next day or Meyle for £65 a side with a lead time.


What a decent chap he is to speak to, have had a good chat about the wish bones and other parts, Jason even thinks he may have a connection regards power flex bushes.   Even had a chat regards suppliers for replacement rocker cover gaskets but I cant remember the company that makes tthem.

Hopefully Jason may join the forum so keep an eye out for him.  :y

Just fitted QH wishbones to mine for the MOT retest. Bedford Battery came out at about £95 inc vat for the pair. Seem ok quality wise, but speed was of the essence, needed same day.

I replaced mine in january with QH branded ones from my local motor factors for £101.89 for the pair and they are still as good as new after approx 13,000 miles.

Had another chat with (Jason who I shall be getting a pair of wishbones from as his prices are excellent.) regards a parts for a VW Golf

Got chatting and it seems between himself and another friend of his they trade with a lot of top brands.

So with out taking up all his time away from other customers I was going to ask him for prices on all the common parts required to to sort my cars out (Hence the reason for this post).

I am having a pair of wishbones for the Elite and intend to rebush them for the GLS, then upgrade the suspenton, making it stiffer and lower, low profile tyres will be added at a later date to suitable wheels as will a SS performance exhaust.(All on the GLS)

Now the GLS allthough low mileage has allways pulled slightly to the left, and I know from invoices it has suffered one broken rear spring in the past.  so as I want to improve the handling, I might as well price all relative parts including TRE, droplinks and any bushes. 

My idea is if we can make a list of common replacement parts then I will email him for prices and post them on here, unless of course Jason posts them here himself.

Jasons friend may also deal in bilstein shockers but is not aware of him dealing in the stenmitz springs

As I say, just a thought and trying to save Jason some time, plus of course not forgetting V6 VXl for the original contact  :y
