Our MD put his X5 in for MOT the other day, they told him it needed 2 new gaitors on the front CV's and charged him accordingly. (£300)
Monday, he says to me there is a noise coming from the front, can i have a look...
Drivers side had exploded due to numpty not putting CV back together properly. Notice cable ties, and colour of grease
Superglued CV boot as well
Passenger side.
On the verge of going, bearings had dropped out.
Drivers side.
Pass side
No way the nut has been off to split the shaft
So, £850 later for 2 new shafts, all is fixed. Phoned the bloke before work commenced to ask him if he wanted to view his handiwork, but he declined, just said send him the bill Which is going to be about 2k.
Can't beat parking next to the job
