its a poor show, surely these parts arent "fit for purpose intended" now?

looks like the new old stock option offers better value for money even at 2 or 3 times the price of the modern tat. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

All rubber parts are shite these days. Cracked and perished within weeks of being fitted. Oddly....do you ever check your car tyres ? The amount Ive seen over the past months with bad cracking is unreal. Even quality branded tyres ! 9.85 @ 145mph

Speaking to a couple of people who really know what they are on about, the problem stems from cheap Indian & Chinese production methods, and the total disregard of British Standards for rubber.
Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |

Yep, I am still seeing the same on all the rubber on my car. Looks like its all routine maintenance now On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

New old stock seems to be the right theory, but the 'old' bit mixed with rubber will pose the same problem? |
