Right went to tps ordered x2 shocks airport discount and a bit more discount  £136 for the pair which i thought was good for oem  also got the wishbone bolts shock bolts and nuts and the hpfp follower £42 all in .

The wishbone was way too expensive @ TPS so had to go to eurocarparts also the bottom ball joint should have been £107 got them for £75  after discount codes and vouchers .

Then went to do the job only to find that the shock bolt is a m14 spline and i only had a m12 bummer so will have to wait till Saturday so knowing my luck with this job it will probably snow 10ft just as im about to start LOL

Yeh them splines when they could have used bolts. Sounds like a really good saving though

Lamps, what make is the lower arm which ECP supplied?  I ask, because ECP have a dreadful reputation of supplying wrong parts across the entire VAG range.

Just an update couldn't do the job on Saturday lower ball joint stick solid so the hub has to come off  so need to get a hub bolt from tps also the drop link on the ARB looks like someone has had a go at it before and has trashed the spline slot so that's gona have to be cut off . 

So what i have decided to do due to time and my shifts is give the work to a local garage so paying just for them to do it with me supplying the bits . After a very long hard look at the wishbone looks like i don't need to change and it didn't look as old as the off side one .
