Thank you for your feedback. It's also on the shelf at the dealer by the big river. The price is good and SKF usually still has acceptable quality. I just hope that the drive shaft boots last longer. I hate the work of changing them....

The problem is that the original ones were made from real rubber. It's plastic now, and they don't last. I'm quite sure our favorite dealer is doing what he can to get the best quality, but I'm hearing so many people complain. It must be uphill.

I've adapted a set of these to my rack as part of my ongoing restoration project. They don't look original and interfer slightly with the chassis when fully extended, but they seem to be much tougher. I haven't actually driven the car with them yet.

The little Murena is slowly getting better. First test drive was good. But the next defects were found. After five years, the steering gear boots are already completely rotten again. When I bought the car almost 25 years ago, it had old boots that had lasted almost 20 years. Now the new ones have gone after five years. I bought them from our favourite dealer. Are there any alternative parts? Aren't they only used on our Murenas?
The dust boot on the brake booster is also due for replacement. Has anyone ever found a replacement for this?
Many thanks for any suggestions.

murena welch plugs by creativeq

NOT MY Picture

As pictured i need to replace a welch plug as shown in the manifold

Before going full on measuring does any one have the  correct size ? from a  quick clean its 24.4mm.
If this was in the block i just buy a 24.4 welch plug as in steel you just go, like for like. Is this the same for an Aluminium manifold ?

I 'm sorting out lots of bits and bobs that i have never sorted over the years getting the car ready to be sold ( Advert to be posted soon). One part that i forgot about is the wiper spindles, I can get a new pair from Simon at 80 Euro delivered. Does anyone have any cheaper options ?
I'm happy to do the work and understand its a bit involved in parts .

Was wondering about getting the spindles from an alternative source and then cut and shutting them to the Murena link arms. This opens up options in the UK ( BX , KA)

They send them within France, as far as I know.
So I asked a friend in France to order them for me, some years ago.

I'm surprised!

That sounds good. They will diliverd with electric connectors.....

I´ve bought them two years ago. They don´t fit with the electricity.

If you have a friend in France you can also try to get these:
