Just ordered it there. I found a service that lets you order stuff for collection just over the border in the North of Ireland.
Brexit really put a block on buying stuff from England!

It's made everything harder, more complex, more expensive - as it always was going to, despite all the BS that Farage and Johnson etc. spouted.TitzonToast wrote: ↑Wed Mar 05, 2025 8:56 pmBrexit really put a block on buying stuff from England!
Anyway, glad if you've sorted a replacement!

I feel you! Had the same issues since. Hard to source and hard to invest. Prices nearly doubled. And shipping times we not want to talk about that here shhh...TitzonToast wrote: ↑Wed Mar 05, 2025 8:56 pmJust ordered it there.

I'd been getting a random but persistent squeaking from the front of the car for ages now and it has been driving me nuts.
I've been after it none stop and I was convinced it had to be something I'd done when I either poly bushed the car or after some other work.
I stripped the driver's side completely this morning and smothered all the bushes in silicone grease and ptf tape but they didn't really need it from what I could tell.
Then I happened to spot what was all along.
The rubber mountings for the radiator, I couldn't believe it.
Noise gone.
I'll sleep like a log tonight, I swear!
Also, my new engine mount landed this morning while I was down in my lock up. I'm not sure if I'll get away with heading down back tomorrow with it being Mother's Day though.

Wowzers, that’s astonishing if radiator mount bushes caused that problem! Well done finding it

I couldn't believe it myself tbh.
Something is clunking away in the rear also, I'll be using a friend's ramp to find that problem.
