I went to buy some balljoints today, got one for £11 last in stock. Went over the road to Vauxhall to get the other, £37 + VAT!!!

Just laughed and walked out.

I got top and bottom both sides from a guy on eBay for 22 quid. Have a look in Parts by Brand in Automotive, he's always selling them.

Halfords claim that all thier spare parts are mad in the same factory, but as they branded as halfords parts they are up to 75% cheaper... They should therefore be the same quality parts as the official parts.
