Anyone know when the factory re-opens

[MisterX]

My car is stuck at Kerridges waiting for a part - factory on answerphone.

[JAZ 34]

My guess would be 9th January although Micknall has been known to frequent the office. With any luck it might be 2nd Jan but I am not 100% sure.

can Kerridges speak to another garage? What part is it? I have some spares.

It is understood to be ball joints (Arthritis?) and it failed the MOT for that reason.

Do you know if its upper or lower? Sure I have a couple of lowers kicking about somewhere.

I'm sure they are from a puegot? or similar. Suprised Kerridges don't know when the factory is back, nor what the oem part number is. Andrew Glover might know what they arew, i'll sms him ajd ask him to lok at this thread for you.

Pretty sure the early ones are from a pug.

Top front and rear 3R ball joints are from are bottom ball joints of a Peugeot 605 made 1989 onwards.

Part numbers here: www.optimal.hg.pl/download/peugeot.pdf

Bottom front 3R ball joints are from Mk1 Vauxhall Cavalier.

I've just realised, if your car is in for an MOT then I guess it will be an early 2.5 or 3ltr M12?

That being the case you will need Rover 100 ball joints for the top front and rear top/bottom on your car.

It is three years old on 1 Jan. Probably may as well await the factory's return as I have had to leave the car at the garage anyway.

Is that Rover 100 as in Metro?

100 was the redesigned/ updated Metro

hehe - I remember when Lancasters tried to fob me off with one as a loaner for my detonated co car.

" No sir it is not a metro it is a rover kensington "

yeah right.
