Got pics of the subframe damage....
Excuse the oil leak. This is a preexisting problem and was due in to be getting sorted this week
As you can see the brace has been pushed up and snapped the exhaust close to the flexy, and the passenger side of subframe has been bent up, resulting in the wishbone bending, well bowing, and the shock has gone and the topmount has too.
So far I have a 2nd hand subframe, with 2new wishbones, 2new topmounts and 2new shock absorbers

Why? Iv got half the parts anyways...
You need to remove that damaged subframe and see what the chasis is like before you look at ordering any more bits imo.

The chassis is fine. Had my mate who owns and runs his own garage look at it. It is just subframe and wishbone damage.

All in your head, if chassis is fine then it physically drive fine.

No reason why it cannot be saved. I think insurance companies can be to quick to write off cars. They probably would have done to yours if your claimed.

That's what I thought
it will be saved might take a couple of weeks but it will be alright
Agreed. Far too much waste out there IMO with perfectly good cars being written off for minor damage these days

Part number is the very top 8 digit one, they don't match. Check Eper to see if one replaced the other, if it didn't I'd go down the resetting route

Thanks
got a company to reset it and send it back to me for 36quid. Not too bad. What's the difference between 3door and 5door seatbelts?
Length, and possibly mounting point also.

Thats a very good price if you ask me, I know the going rate would be up to double that
