Different shape from original, clicks into laptop anyway and works well, Good value for the price.
It was well-priced, but when I received it, it did not match the exact shape of the original battery which has the shape of a pyramid. Instead it is slim and flat, but it did click into the laptop with no problems. The laptop used to sit at an angle to the table, now it is flatter on the table. I am not sure if it has the same capacity of the original. At full charge it has about 3.5 h of runtime at the reduced settings that I chose. For the price I paid approx. US$15 + tax, I do consider it to be good value anyway. To be seen if it last a couple of years charging normally. I've replaced the battery once before, it lasted 4 years, I hope this one will too.

Replacement resistor/ relay, solves the fan blower problem
Good price on this relay which appears to have been manufactured to fail by the carmaker. This new version looks quite different from the original and the main difference is the temperature rating of the resister which on the original was 145C and on the new one is 184C.

Great product and it is fairly easy to install for someone mechanically-minded!
3 of 3 found this helpful I bought this awesome split boot to replace a cv joint boot that was frayed in two with grease exposed to the elements, on my Japanese import vehicle which does not have a presence here in Canada nor the USA, thus parts are hard to find. Upon inspection, I found that the grease had not come out yet, so the damage to the installed boot was new and the cv joint absolutely was worth saving. If the joint has lost all its grease and has started clacking, then the joint and boot must both be replaced.
I put the car on drive-up ramps and cut out the existing boot, then followed the install instructions for the new boot, after fully cleaning the shaft with acetone, to remove dirt and also removing as much old grease from the joint as I could. The temperature during the gluing was -3C and I had to hold the first section of the new boot together for much longer than the recommended 45 secs, instead it was more like 2 mins. This was hard, and I had to do it a couple of times before the glue set. If you are installing at such low temperatures, I would suggest an assistant hold a hair dryer to warm the glue, to make it set faster. The remaining segments to glue were a cinch since there was no tension.
Once the clamps were on, I had an easy to install low-cost split boot on my car and away I went.
In North America we have a similar product made by Doorman. I chose not to buy this product because it was 2-3 times the cost of the British sticky boot, and I had to order it in anyway. The main thing that stopped me was not the cost however, it was the design of the Doorman product- it consisted of 2 sections and thus twice the work with the glue! This was not worth my time, the Stickyboot is a far better product!
