Re: My Trophy failed me!!!
You fitted Skidelli and eight pound sixty ball joints! Tut tut.
I wouldn't expect a VX to be any different though.

Why the total cop out by deleting the whole of your original overlong and whinging post. I think the next owner might appreciate knowing that he has lower ball joints that a wouldn't fit on a childs toy let alone something that's capable of way over a hundred.

The thread was originally called "My Trophy failed me" and very simply described how it had failed its mot and that she was going to trade it for a vx because of this. The fact that it failed on front tyres and lower ball joints two fairly basic items subject to everyday wear seemed a concept too far. Anyway they were replaced by a pair of pirelli and joints that at a cost of £8.60 each I think is cost cutting over safety.
Trophys seem to be falling into the wrong hands dont they..... :roll:

Not so much that. It was the inference that it was somehow the cars fault! I had some sympathy to begin with it was an expensive mot but I feel most sorry for the poor sod that ends up with it.
mine passed no probs, MOT cost me £30 not expensive job and ive just replaced both front tyres with pe2's again for £79 each
That's a very good price for PE2s..!

I got these, but surprisingly selecta tyre do them for £79 of all places, the guy told me that they price them up on the internet as people believe that tyres on the net will be cheaper than a tyre garage and pay the extra believing they have the best deal when in this case its obviously untrue.
