What is it with me and ordering parts argh!?!?!?!

When I got my brakes done, all three companies I ordered from sent the wrong parts although i ordered the right parts. Wasted hours of my time trying to sort it.

Now gone to have my suspension and struts done tdoay. Firstly i get a ring saying that struts were not in so I though fine not all is lost its just one of those things. Secondly, 1 hour ago my koni fsd's didnt fit the back of the car as Koni sent them wrong parts. Finally I have to go out of my way to book time off to go pick up the car drop it back again .

UPDATE:

Well picked up the car and all seemed well. Turned the key and the engine started. I immediately noticed that there was a hell of a lot more vibration. Got the mechanic out and said this is because of the new uprated dogbone mounts. Spoke to my good friend slick and he confirmed so I thought all is well.

Started driving off and heard this very faint ticking. Pulled over and opened the bonet as I thought the sound was coming from the engine but I couldnt hear it anymore. I started driving again and wound down my window and the sound was coming from the tyre. I couldnt pull over so drove to girlfriends place. Inspected the tyre and there is a biga$$ bolt and washer in the tyre!!

I am going to go straight back tomorrow morning with the tyre and bolt! ARGH!!!!! &^%£^%£"£^&$ I am not impressed with them at all. Hard bit will be to prove it.

Sorry to here that dude, its not fun is it, however it does sound like an everage day in mylife, going back to the dogbone moount, ive done the upgrade myself, took me ages to get a torque wrench, then when everthing was off the car i found it didnt work, bummer ey! any how as for the vibrating, i have the same problem, its a bit annoying at trafic lights and jams, but i think (so ive heard) you can up your idel rev limit to 1000 rpm, this totally gets rid of problem, im yet to sort this out myself, any1 can help me as well plz do lol!

Interesting about inceasing the idle to 1000rpm. I am going to have to do some research about it...As you said in traffic jams it does get annoying. I think the plus side is because the engine cant 'roll forward' it gets the power down quicker so the engine feels more responsive. I am not sure whether this is in my mind or the green filter has anything to do with it.

Anyone got any info that would be great. I got he tyre repaired for £5 quid which is good. I will get the front tyres replace in a couple of months anyway.

My dog bone was a bit hard for the 1st few hundred miles. It will settle in. And i really cant even remember what it was like before to be honest. Dont bother upping the idle, its not that bad.

Who was doing all this for you? Sounds like an ideal company to avoid in my opinion.
