£114 to have the dog bone exsert
Where did you get that figure as the insert, depending on what make you get, will set you back between £23-30.

Amazingly expensive for undoing and tightning one bolt

The Vets.

Tess had crunched down too large a chunk of lamb shoulder and it got stuck on the way out.
The vet removed it whilst she was knocked out.

I have the APR one, got it for free :smug: from Awesome when the APR gang were developing the stage 3 conversion there. Also got it fitted for free at JBS when they fitted the ARB's :smug:

I must admit that I haven't felt any vibration either, like Toph says it is due to the inherent smoothness of the DSG.

There have been a few warnings over on VWVortex about people who have had them fitted to tuned engines, but not used a strengthened bolt. Damaging both the bolt and the thread. :sick:
