coney september breakages

Post by NIVAD » Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:43 pm

Well if you went there..then where was you?

As always my niva let me down...not being used enough too prove it was fixed from last time......crap in fuel tank....causing furl starvation...easy fix....New tank on order.

The big one was my trusted disco.

Going down a steep slope then into a very small pot hole I heard a bang, felt my drivers wheel fall too the ground.

I then slid sideways for a few scary seconds, jumping out of the car too find I had cleanly broken the swivel housing ball off its flange, resulting in a bent drive shaft a broken steering arm and broken brake pipe.

Took a while for the panic too go then realised I'd got old bits at home too do a get me too my trailer repair.

The housing was a replacement part I had only fitted last year.

So after a late night and a lot of favours I managed too get it home.

The disco has never let me down before but this one cost ne big.

Thanks for all your help lads.

Cheers.
