ripped radius arm continued(again) Matey welded on the new one.I was`nt totally happy with it at first due to it partly cracking off when i put the arm back in,I called him back and he cranked the amps up on the arc into the high 80`s and fired i dont know how many rods into it! Just remains to...

Hi again and thanks to all those who read and replied to my original thread. Went out and bought the replacement bracket from my local landy parts shop in bristol (£17.50) Now just waiting for the rain to stay off long enough for a mate to come and do the honours with the grinder and welder. I...

towed my trailer up the back lane after a run to the local tip,next thing i know theres knockin & bangin going on under the floor.closer inspection finds the mounting bracket on the rear axle for the radius arm has ripped through:doh: leaving the arm flapping about. anyone else suffered this...

been there..rr 6.2 gmc trans chewed x god knows how many times,despite being beefed up. DONT GO THERE!!! You have been warned.

blimey thats spooky..were you there?!!!

Tried to run with 3..loadsasmoke from under battery tray..turned it off kwik.Think something touched and earth strap got busy.

With reference to the alternator test,the guys at the exhaust/battery centre did it while rechecking the new battery.They did some sort of discharge/load/recharge test on it,using some space-age bit of kit that i`ve not seen before.cheers for taking an interest...

replaced my matrix without touching a/c. tight,fiddly,tiresome,would`nt want to do it too often but did it.imagine the garage bill for that one! hmmm

Thanks for all your ideas guys,will try all these tomorrow and any others you may come up with..cant keep nickin` wifes corsa! I feel sure there`s many a 300 owner before me who have had the same story,or maybe its not a 300 thing but a disco thing....

Right i`ll be first to admit when it comes to electrics..i`m crap! Park my 300tdi auto for more than a few hours and it needs a jump start. Alternator fine,battery a couple of days old and re-checked to make sure not faulty. This all began in the cold weather, not good when i need to be on the...
