That really p***es me off, you spend a large chunk of cash fixing a problem, so whne the next one crops upi you think "well it can't be that, it's new"

Bingo! start with the last thing you touched and hope you still have the receipt :evil:

personally I wouldnt go to paddocks for them, the ones they sell I think are chinesey cheapy ones that dont last.

get GKN ones

I have been through a few of em beleive me, but the GKN where much better but a tad more expensive - about £10-12 each compared to paddocks £20 for 3 or 4 or something.
