Default Guess what now,AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH

Its not the clutch thats gone,after looking at the car in daylight Tim has discovered that the 3 bolts that hold the drive shaft in place have sheared again,but this time its broken the bolt hole on the engine,the one in the centre,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH HHHHHHHHHHH
Blo**y car,now I,m well and truly p***ed off woth it,THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR THESE BOLTS HAVE SNAPPED.
how safe will the car be if I only replace the two end bolts, or do I now have to buy a blasted engine,


do we have a vent your anger thread,if not I think we need one,

That is really odd, there must be some reason for them to keep failing, were they replaced last time with original bolts? There must be a reason for them to keep failing, worn engine mount perhaps.

Is It Possible That A Prang We Had In The Car A Couple Of Weeks Ago Could Have Made This Break Again. We,ve Only Used The Car Twice Since The Bump.on Short Distances,
We Were Stationary And A Car Reversed Into Us,causing Damage To Back Passenger Door,behind The Driver.
