Thank you for your replies. Last time I changed the front wheel discs and brake pads by national tyres. This was in November 2011, since then I have only done 6,000 miles and one of the brake pads nearly worn out. So when I called the AA he said it brake pads worn, but he did not find anything...

Hi Just an update, had the MOT done this year and the CV boot replaced and the welding had to be done under seal behind the driver side, as i do not know how on earth it had a hole, as this waht the MOT guy said. So it costed me £70.00 to get the welding doen and changing the CV boot and...

Good news your mot passed, mine is in April.

Thanks Tony and Magpie for your reply.

Hi Tony, Do you need to support other area when taking the crossmember out, as this crossmember may be like a structural part which is holding the front radiator and may be other parts.

There are lot of mechanic try to charge you too much, which puts you off and makes you wonder why and then you are doing it yourself to save the cost, as the car is not worth the labour cost of the mechanic charge. Like you said about 3-4 hours and tells you the charge and you don't mind giving...

Hi Tony, Thank you for your reply. Last time my garage wanted over £300 and he said he welded and then fibreglass and charged me over £60 and I don't think he did any welding, as he just applied fibreglass to cover the rusty crossmember to pass my mot. However this mechanic no longer owns the...

Hi Tony, Thank you for the picture of the crossmember . Where did you buy the crossmember from eBay, as I will need one soon, as my mot will come up soon. When you said 8mm drill bit is this special drill bit or can I use my diy metal drill bit 8mm. If they are special where they buy them from...

Lol

Hi Tony, Good information there so you just changed a new complete crossmember and you do not need to weld. Just take the bolts off and old crossmember just comes off. Did you take pictures, if so would you able to upload them .

Which water ? What do you mean insead ? Or are trying to say this extra water place it in radiator. Thankyou for the reply.

Just to let you know guys, water leaked has been fixed, as it was from the rusted part which had a hole. Since siliconed, there is no water in the boot.

Hi All, I am asking to see anyone got a metal shoe type clip, which goes behind the window winder handle. I lost mine when taking the door panel out , due to window dropped and I had to silicon to the clamp, as the first adhesive must of dried up when the car must of been built. I also need the...

Hi, When i checked throughly, i noticed the water was getting in through the bottom of the boot, just near the boot lock, as there was small hole, as this area was rusted and last year i had the garage applied fibre glass in black colour , so it does not rust any quicker, as there was a little...
