EOI: BA C/V joints or fuel filter
Just wondering if there is a few members in need of replacement of c/v joints and fuel filter for BA model, not sure if they fit to other models.
Would anyone know of a company that could help with a special offer or group buy? Sorry if I went about this the wrong way. |

Only way is to buy a ton of stuff from repco/bursons on a regular basis and then ask for discounts when they know your name etc. I insist on being served by Trent at indooroopilly repco. He's a manager, very helpful, knows his stuff and doesn't treat me like a weekend warrior. Just gives the relevant books to me and I find it rather standing infront of some brain dead person in front of a computer asking for the 100th time what your car is. If I ever need something near Christmas I'll thank him.
Eg. List price on strut tops were about $110 each. Paid $120 for two. Engine mounts with 2 year warranty, $100, paid $60. As well as the usual trade card discount on stuff. Bear in mind I've spent a few thousand on parts over the last 4 years.

C/V joints are $35
Axles are $110 Fuel filter on ebay are $30 Not worth the time and effort for a group buy. |
