pedals Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 Was heading up to Greenock the other night from the village were i stay. Just outside my village there is a notoriously bad roundabout which is always greasy and muddy and off cambered. Came off the roundabout in 3rd when the back end kicked out and the whole car went sideways into the kerb. Totally smashed the back wheel in and smashed the front wheel. Getting the car put up in the ramps tomorrow to see exactly what is broken, but it looks like il be needing the whole back left set up including struts, drive shafts, hub assembly etc etc. Will most likely need the front also. Will be needing to get the rear quarter panel sorted and a new set of alloys! If anyone has any of the above, or knows of anyone who does, please let me know. thanks Graeme (pedals)
