Hey all,
After last years DIY repair on the rear shock absorber mount, heard some more knocking from the rear end this week and the rear chassis looks terminal.
As much as I would love a crack at lifting the body off and replacing the chassis myself, couple of practical things to consider, I don’t have an indoor space or lift and work commitments are building up more and more after Covid.
so been on the the old tinterweb this morning and spoken with Ann at replacement chassis parts in Southam (50 mins from me) https://m.facebook.com/pages/catego...-Chassis-Parts-295205760673497/?locale2=en_GB
they look a reputable firm and she quoted an extended 1/2 chassis replacement supply and fit for £1850.
They would need the disco for 5-7 days
seems a reasonable price for such work. It’s more than I paid for the disco in the first place, but a non sun roof se model with only 125k on the clock it seems like a logician decision to have this done and keep the disco for many more years.
Couple of questions....
1. Has anyone in the midlands area had the 1/2 chassis work done by anyone they could recommend? And how much was it?
2. I’m sure RCP will have good experience on this but what other wear/rubber items should I replace whilst they have the disco in bits?
thanks
