Yeah, I would go for a DM also. LUK kit should be complete LUK set
Seems daft as it’s done same mileage as clutch it’s like doing a cambelt and not doing the water pump,
Was in garage today, they ether use LUK or sach, full sach kit with DM just of £1000 with vat fitted ..

not long after the intercooler cost I’m surprised Defibrillators have not been used on me lol

When i was getting the car ready for brands hatch. I noticed the subfram was going rusty. Only surface rust. View attachment 49566 So I pulled it out. Going to strip the arms View attachment 49568 . And sand blast the lot and repaint it. Even the antiroll bar has a bit of rust spots. View attachment 49567
Considering it's never been on the road this subframe. Its a few years old but "never used" if you know what I mean. Think I just going to do it black.. unless you lot other ideas

Can't believe you're getting rust already, especially without any use. Bad show for the company providing this expensive stuff. It's annoying for you that you effectively have to do more work to something which should have been adequately prepared & treated to give it a good life span. Fks me off that nearly everything is expensive but shoddy in someway. Black sounds perfect to me btw 👍

Spray them with a anti rust paint or a underseal spray

Car booked in for braided brake hoses next week 😁
Of course this is an excuse to give it some love before Autumn & finally do the jobs that I was meant to do at the beginning of summer 🫣
