Always at the wrong time

freddie · 23rd December 2010, 11:31

Came out of supermamket today,pull away strange bang from front,get out to look nothing seems amiss but every time I move forward or brake knocking sound,gingerly crawl home .On inspection in freezing rain cold wind ,Could move front nearside wheel back and forth about 3 inches.
The lower suspension bush rubber had snapped.

Have ordered a pair from Jules (might as well replace both sides)
What with the weather ,Post delayed,Places shut for the holiday,Could be of road till next year(still it happened after the shopping plenty of food)

ALWAYS HAPPEN AT THE WRONG TIME

MERRY CHRISTMAS ON AND ALL

he he Jules..

Whatever happened to "We don't get much snow here" as it's on the coast so the salt and warm water keeps it warmer etc etc

....

Hmmm with the lane leading to Jules place being about 1000 yards long incl a few slopes, and 10 inches deep with snow, now isn't a good time to visit... lol.. I hope the postman has a tractor!
