you have urgent PM.


Thanks.

You'll do better to ring him on his mobile, and make sure your number is not withheld. It's the only way to get hold of him.

From what others have previously said, that might not be good enough. Keep trying.

R8 is in for full alignment as we taking kids to Disney Monday morning, they found a crack in the rear toe control arm

Cant take my GTO as it runs on Methanol and Im not carrying 40liters with me.
cant take Emmas GTO as I have the exhaust and other bits removed as car is now sold awaiting collection.
My son's Skoda blew Head gasket two days ago and our people carrier has just started the usual VW overboost issue.

Facking fantastic eh

Have PM'd you Brett's number.

Have you tried the Fish to try and source the control arm?

Suppose the last resort option would be a hire car?

Hope you can get something sorted

Arm was discontinued by VX in 2011 although still available via HSV. Monkfish dont have one and have never sold one, Walkinshaw are looking into price and availability for me.

Just spoken to Brett who has one so 'may' have it sorted in time for hols trip. Didn't really want too go in a hire st box

Thanks for the help all

No problem, glad I could be of use. Good luck

false alarm !!!

Wife just got back and the hair line crack is actually just the thick hammerite the suspension was painted with prior to my ownership cracking. Scrapped it off and the metal is solid and crack free.

Thank god for that.

I'm feeling relieved for you mate! Roll on your holiday!

Cheers pal, You and me both !!

went into instant panic mod with holiday looming up and getting messages from garage via the wife who was with the car. It was only once she got home I could jack the car up and give things a proper look over and see what the deal was.

Both Raving and Speed4u have one and were great at offering to get the part too me asap. Thankfully I don't need it now but know who to contact next time I need anything urgently.

Thank you one and all.

[ARAF]

Glad for you, and also the service that 'our' breakers offer.
