No probs mate.

Regarding LMF, Its been said on this forum before so here goes...

Basically, cut a long story short, car failed MOT on play in the steering idler. So I ordered a steering idler from LMF, fitted it, and then drove straight to MOT centre (was in a rush, so just assumed that a new bit would solve the problem!).

It failed again - still to much play (infact it was worse than before Shocked) So I then assumed that it must be the bracket which had worn, so ordered a new one from VX... Still no better, so had to order a genuine steering idler. Fitted the genuine idler to the original bracket – Fine!

I've now learnt that buying cheap crap costs way more in the long run (I’ve now got a GM bracket that’s not needed and cost around 70 quid iirc) Not to mention I almost missed the free MOT retest deadline! And had to take an afternoon off work  Angry

Did you inform LMF about the faulty idler though?
They're normally very good like that - from what I've read and heard about them.
I know Steve, more as a friend than a customer (they've never got owt for my Carlton), and I'm sure he'd prefer to sort it out rather than ruin his and his company's reputation?
