TMOUSSE

Just got back after going to pick my car up from the garage, after sending it off for wheel alignment only to receive some bad news. They said they couldn't carry out the work because nearly every bolt on the rear has seized and won't budge, and didn't dare try too hard on them for fear of shearing/rounding any of them off. Apparently rust has set in on most of the parts at the back there and will need to be cut off and replaced, my mate works there so is offering parts at cost and labour at staff rates. parts alone- assuming it's not just the bolts but everything else that needs replacing have been quoted as £717.40 ex vat!!! so all in with labour etc could be anything up to £1400 I guess. (apologies for being vague with part names but I'm not the most mechanically minded of people :rolleyes: ) £1400 is almost the value of the car itself! Of course there is a chance it could just mean having the bolts cut off and new ones put in their place and the other more expensive parts are fine in which case going to cost something like £90 ex vat, all in £150-£200 I dunno what do you reckon?

Nice one. Thank you.

Does anyone know anywhere in the Leicester/ Northampton area that does it? Internet isn't helping much....

Woah sounds like a close call, glad you are ok though.

Just going to take mine off for the mot, sorted.

Cheers Lee how much would you be wanting for it? although now tempted to go for a full bumper change...... hmmmm No thankfully not, i think it was a reworx one but not 100% Ha, im actually not a fan of rabbit, but could put it on the specials board for tonight i guess. (im keeping the head and mounting it on the wall as a trophy though )

only 60, it just ran outta the grass verge right in front of me. so annoying had just driven nearly 2 hours back from wolverhamton and this happen no more than 500 yards from the pub. Tell me about it, oh well another one will have to go back on the shopping list then

izzy if you stand in the middle of nottingham road to look at the back of the white gen 5, you will also see an evo at the lights on your left.

Fooking hell thats a little too close to home. *goes and checks car park

Rattles get on my nerves abit...... oh and the fact that when you pull the chairs forward they dont remember the position they were in.
