FML
« on: 30 October 2012, 21:27:40 »

Recently bought this car off my brother this is what it looked like when he first did it up. He broke the alloys recently before i bought it. I was driving it for too weeks and this happens. lets just say me and the ditch didnt like each other!! 

twisted the wishbone, broke the alloy, tore the engine mounts, broke the sump. after all that the 2.5td engine was still running i had to turn off. invincible

Are they an item you could get from a breaker? Or do they need to be new?

ya i could get them from a breakers yard but would prefer them new cause its the rubber engine mount, so most old rubber engine mounts would be perished

Yep, fair point. Sounds expensive in Euros, though may be a standard price.
Drop andyc a pm and see if he can get you a better deal  :y

ya they were about a ear ago but they broke again and were rewelded but they didnt turn out too good. cause there was a massive lump broke out of them due to the shitty roads of ireland but the alloys were way to brittle couldnt even drive over a pot hole  >:( !! im thinking banded steelys for it next !
