Evening folks, apologies for a question about a modern, but I figured I'd probably get the right answers on here!
SWMBO has a 63 plate Fiat 500L Trekking as her daily, and for the last few days I've noticed it making the tell-tale "tick tick tick" noise at low speed with a bit of steering lock on that suggests a CV joint is on its way out.
So I wandered into the local Fiat dealer this afternoon for a quote - £233 inc VAT supplied only! Can't see them listed on GSF, ECP, Car Spares etc. and just after Crimbo I simply don't have the cash to chuck at it, especially as its needed a tyre a month for the last five months (yes, five!)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might try to purchase one of these solid gold nuggets of unobtainium that's not going to require selling my first-born son (not that anyone would want him, a three year old with pre-bedtime tantrums is not an appealing thing)
Thanking you in advance,
Neil
