Try Andy Willi - based at Carcroft - he is on this site -was a trader on here - try and PM him - if not him he may be able to give you a contact in Donny - i know he got a new job a year or two ago and that curtailed his work on our cars.

Had to post an update on my noise from the back. I took the advice, and the old girl visited three garages, but the noise got worse. To it to Halfords this week, think full service, they will find it - £200 later and a clean bill of health. No problems at all! 17 mikes later the offside rear suspension collapses in style...... Halfords senior manager offers to get it collected and the final irony was the tyre exploded when they were loading it. The photos posted in this thread are a perfect match.... It is definitely going to cost Halfords money....

UPDATE: They offered to replace the suspension arm for £150 cost of parts. No labour, no charge for collection and a new tyre.......

Had to let you know that after the o/s finally collapsed it's been fixed and is back on the road. Thanks for all the invaluable advice. Really helped so much
