Wanted : Offside Rear Suspension Arm

Thanks everyone - will have another chat with the garage and see if I can convince them that a welded repair is OK.

I would really not want to change garages. I try to do as much as I can myself but am no expert mechanic - learning as I go though . When I use a garage I need to trust them. I've had bad experiences in the past - blown Mustang 2.8 engine after a rebuild, Lotus Excel engine almost wrecked after a cam belt change and same engine later wrecked by another garage after top end rebuild. These weren't dodgy back street places either - one was a main dealer!

Stephen/David - thanks both. Will be in touch if I decide a replacement is the way forward (or insisted upon).

The garage has spoken to VOSA and got the official line.......

The suspension arm CAN be welded,

So, thanks all. This has saved me a few quid! It's being done today/tomorrow.

The steering gaiter is available from Renault - no problem. Am expecting delivery tomorrow.

Cheers.
