On the positive side prices of ford wiper blades have dropped dramaticly over the last few weeks!

But ford prices are crazy.

Priced up power steering pipes for a customer this week, the two pipes that go from the rack around the bay clockwise and both have a union under the battery tray area (mk4 fiesta) each pipe is no more than a metre long with a union on the end, one was £120 the other £130 + the rubber mounting which was £40. + the vat.

With the fitting and the fluid etc a job thats near £400. on a car essentially worth scrap value. well done ford, thats another ford off the road and guess what, her next car wont be a ford

re the noise on the st, try removing the shaft from the hub and put some loctite on the splines see if that cures the noise as some of them have play between on the splines which causes a noise when taking up drive.

On a similair note, fwd transit shafts are even more expensive
