New rear upper arms fitted.

After my mot tester advised my upper arms were starting to look a bit crusty but nothing to panic about I finally got them ordered and delivered and fitting kits (thanks DMGRS).

The garage I use are happy to fit supplied parts and unlike some, happy to work on MGR's.

Just got it back, they said it wasn't the easiest job in the world, and the subframe bolts were a "fight", but got them out without snapping the captive nuts off (they used an inductive heater to help free them).

While they had the arms off I asked them to inspect the drop links and also replace if not tip-top which they did.

So (not including the arms and fitting kits) 3hrs Labour and a pair of drop links £237 inc VAT and old arms and drop links in the boot !!!!!!

So overall, not at all unhappy as to what it could have cost.
