    well it didnt go to heaven, i had it fixed and it been fine for the last year, although i have just bought another car so it will be going soon!!

    it last week snapped a spring on the front left and with the mot due in 2 weeks will be selling it for spares or repair - not going to break it! it will be an easy fix for someone but dont have the cash to buy new springs get them fitted and mot it :( so once i write my for sale thread i`ll post it up.

    i reckon 80,000miles in one seat is enough for anyone lol

    cheers guys

    Lol rattling around for ages? Why don't you just take it out?! It's easy to remove that panel under there. And that also probably means you haven't done any spoiler motor maintenance yet! Better to do preventive maintenance than corrective! And it's only a matter of time until you'll be doing corrective! LOL

     

    lol been driving my car for 90k taken every bit i could off just cant be assed undoing the couple screws to get it out

    well the car has been fine for the last few 7 years bits and bobs obviously but when your seat runner falls through the fllor and you can see through it i think it might be time to call it a day!! not sure what to do as the floor will need plating but the cost involved and the worth of the car dont really add up

    so its either break it, sell it as a whole for spares or get it fixed????

    gutted for you 2 its terribly upsetting hitting any live creature rest assured it wasnt your fault nothing you could do about it! and yes any animal which is meant to be enclosed you have to reports it to the police (i hit a puppy once as it ran out into a 60mph road it survived with a broken hip and bit me the little **** lol and the copper told me a rhyme which listed all the animals you have to report but i cant remember it - anything like sheep, cows, goats, dog .... etc)

    regards
