Aye! 6 of the failures are down to the nearside rear brakes, so likely not that bad. The suspension bushes though... And this is the rot/failed spring The spring was fine last week - I think hauling road salt tipped it over the edge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Sad but the right move. That had the look of an end of life car. What’s taking up daily* lugging duties? More hot Seat Toledo action? 320touring and Tickman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
