they sound like they are talking bullshizzle my man!!

on my old black gti the mesh went in 2nd and they replaced it straight away, the suspension has nothing to do with gearbox components at all, may the driveshafts at a push!

my black polo was sat on its ass and they couldnt even get it on the ramps, but they still had to do it

have another word man!

Got mine today. £23.41 for both!!!

So my question is how long do they take to fit and what tools do i need???

Will i be better getting my brother to help or can i do it alone??

And one final question, how do you guys jack the whole front end of the car and where do you place axel stands??? Pics of points would be great!!! Don't want to unnecessarily damage under carriage. :?

Thanks

jack it up where the jack points are on the sill , then use axle stands on the sub frame, its easier to do with two jacks one at each side pumping up at the same time!
