Are other parts made of chocolate too?

Bit pissed off at the minute, car is in for a service and I thought it was generally all good, however there's a few parts which need replacing or are worn, not a problem as such but these parts were replaced 3k and one year ago!

Clutch slave weaping- just an advisory right now, but weaping after just that short time!

All 3 diff bushes replaced last year, one is already soft, not cracked and just an advisory but still!

Front drop links worn, a year and 3k old!

N/s engine mount collapsed after a year. I know these wear out but pretty sure it's an updated part iirc.

I am in shock tbh, I've done 2 trackdays, one wet and one dry.

I'm gutted tbh This sort of wear and tear is awful.

Who do you buy your parts from?

Sounds a bit like the fun I used to have with my Tuscan. One reason I... upgraded.

Just be glad you don't have a wiper assembly issue. My Tuscan was the one that consumed
the last one that was ever available

The parts are supplied by a well known place so not dodgy pattern parts or the like

I suppose that currently they are advisorys apart from drop links and engine mount but still!

Rest assured I will be expecting you to qualify that statement the next time we catch up at a meet

I wouldn't be happy with that. Ten years and 40+k miles and mine has only gone through one replacement of drop links and diff bushes. I do treat engine mounts as service items though.

I think he did it by changing the whole car.

And he probably has neon lights on most of them

Sorry but those parts all sound like a common list of things that need doing by a certain 'specialist'! My front anti roll bar drop links apparently had play in them too but the car had its MOT done this week which it passed, and I asked him to specifically check the drop links for play as was advised 2k miles ago at my service they were wearing, and he said he couldn't move them a nano bit! PM me if you want more info! ;-)
