My poor Valver.

[Tony]

Had a meetin with a curb last nite on the way home, Some dosey woman pulled right out in front of me forcing me to swerve out the way and slide sideways in to a big kerb! She didnt even stop the dosey cow didnt get her plate number either, Front wheel is at a 45 degree angle and the back wheel nearly the same both have a chunk out the alloy and front flat tyre, undrivable, bloke at garage reckons it s a right off

 

[_Tom]

Ahh sorry to hear that bud! Itll be a pitty if theres one less black valver on the road!

First Dibs on your Leather though!

 

[Tony]

Yeah sound, Many parts comin soon i fear.

 

[GazTwo]

Probably bent the chassis, will need to get it properly Jigged or it will fail the MOT, I think it can cost £1,000 maybe more to get it done. One of my mates did it years ago in a XR2 got it fixed but failed the MOT.

Sorry to hear that m8 As soon as a black valver joins the club, another leaves! Anyway on the bright side, ideal time to get a williams front track on there - dont look like a write off to me.

 

[Rajk]

me neither, you may get away with a front hub carrier and a second hand rear axle, prob about £150 in parts and i dont know how much in labour!

 

[case]

Doesnt look to bad you should be able to get away with just changing the whole f/n/s susspension set up including the strut, lower arm, etc, maybe the hub too but the drive shaft should be fine. And maybe a new rear axle. There all relativley simple jobs and if your ok with a spanner have a go your self and save a few pounds.

Did the same once the only problem was i bend the cradle and had to have that jiged. As long as you havent bent that it should be ok. I do have a spare cradle now though if you have

 

[Tony]

I think the driveshaft has gone, When i put it in to gear and tried to move forward a bit there was no power goin to the front wheels just reving like a b**ch.
