Renault Clio
Hey...
I lost control of my car on wednesday night at about 1 in the morning, and I believe I hit some water which caused me to skid out...
Anyway, I hit a kerb at about 30-40mph after doing a 180 in the road, and smashed my alloy to pieces, and now my rear wheel sits at an angle like / ...
Does anyone have any idea how much a new rear axle + brake drum would cost to buy + get fitted? My excess for my insurance is £370 plus I will lose almost 4 years no claims, and if the cost of repairing is less or only slightly more, I would rather repair it than go through insurance!!!
Obviously, my alloy I will have to replace myself either way, so in truth thats an extra £100 on top, but a friend of mine is willing to give me 2 blue Cobra Daytona seats for nothing (as my drivers seat airbag got set off!)
Any suggestions? Any idea of the cost of doing that work?
Oh if it helps, I'm in the Northamptonshire area (just outside Wellingborough) so if any of you are mechanics or know of a good place to go....
Also it helps if I tell you what model it is It's a Mark 2 Phase 2 1.2 8v Clio
