This was fitted by a well known 'specialist'
It was apparrently brand new, fitted about 2 months ago
it's just been replaced, as it was worn out OMG

The pitting on that looks far more than 2 months worth. 'Brand new' taken off a scrap vehicle? You do seem to have hit upon a trustworthy specialist... not.

According to another thread, he has changed his 'name'. Can we play hangman with the new one?

Not that it affects me, I have a trustworthy specialist 5 minutes from my front door, "which is nice"

on a more embarassing note, I have no idea what that part is
