partsouq.com - Anyone used it before?

Hey guys, Has anyone used https://partsouq.com/ before? I just found it last night and it seems like an absolute godsend for fasteners and difficult bolts (The long bolts in the rear knuckles and the camber bolts.) Just want to make sure its totally legit. I'll probably make a smaller order from it ...

Re: Bosh Immobiliser- by pass Ford Probe 16V

Possibly the dumbest question on this forum -

Is there a specific wire I should use for linking the pairs? The guide mentions 10a standard wire, but google doesn't give a result, which means I have no idea what to do next.

Thanks as usual your all great people!

Re: Rear lateral control arm bolt

Its right beside the fuel t...

Rear lateral control arm bolt

https://i.postimg.cc/jwc8G9qS/IMG-20190825-204811.jpg Hey guys, Not even sure what I'm hoping for but this nut is driving me crazy. Its the left rear lateral control arm. Its rounded, and I cant get an angle grinder/hacksaw anywhere near it because of the ridiculous shaped metal around it. I'm not ...

Re: Rear through-bolts

Makes sense... The shock is still attached, I didn't think that would make a difference.

Thanks.

Rear through-bolts

Hey guys,

How am I meant to get the through bolt out on the rear hub? I've got the nut off, but the bolt is solid and not moving. I've hit it for half an hour with a hammer and it's not even budged.

Thanks in advance as always.

Rear suspension compatibility

Hi guys, Starting to feel like this is a personalised self help forum. I'm wanting to replace all the rear parts, trailing arms/lateral arms and was wondering if the Mazda 626 and mx6 are identical? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-MX-6-1992-1997-Rear-Lateral-Track-Control-Arm-Rod/362444181039?hash=...
