Does than mean your Statler?

We'll have to see if the LZ dev team can build us a balcony on the header bar from which we can heckle the petrol and TD4 owners from :)

Hey Waldorf - here we go .

We were talking about lower arms here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-ro...-kilo-hippo-delta.304131/page-17#post-3894256
A bit of rust flaking off is normal but if there are holes rusting through then get them changed. My son had a wishbone fail on him last year in his Subaru and he ended up in the ditch. :eek:
The wishbone on his Subaru failed before he left the road? I'm glad he's OK (hopefully!) and every time my son takes his Tomcat out I hope he comes back OK, but I do wonder what excuse he will come up with as to why his Tomcat didn't come back with him! Thankfully I haven't had to test his excuses, he's actually been a decent driver (I believe) and always got home. Aided at the moment with a broken brake light, no warrant and he can't be arsed to fix it!
 
Yes I looked at mine and in the centre of the arm it rotted through the skin I am going for lemforder ones I think with poly bush rear bush
Nodge was saying Delphi were oem at a time and are less than half the price of Lemforder. I guess it depends how long you intend keeping the car.

Apparantly it was a known weakness in Subaru's and there was a recall for it. The car had been checked and passed as OK before he bought it so after it failed he contacted Subaru to see what they would do.
Not only did they repair the wishbone free of charge but they also replaced the other one, the damaged wheel and wing and fitted 4 new tyres. :eek:

When the rear diffs go on F2s and the owners call JLR - they are equally as helpful, ah no, they tell them to sod off !

I plan to go through the whole car as been a mechanic for a land rover specialist it will be a project some may think that's a pointless exercise but I have a plan
 
I thought 104,000 miles was low miles, especially for high end V6 truck. Turns out the ones in the scrap yard have even less.
I'd list the problems but I am afraid I'll get hand cramps... Maybe I'll drop the engine and transmission and just pull it behind my Dodge as a portable tool box
