mot fail big styie

[droidgordie42]

took the cougar for its mot and not good the rear subframe has gone and the rear drop links and a h/brake cable as well so this would be the end of many a cougar with the cost of a subframe alone but i have got the cables and a subframe i bougth 2 years ago redy for such a time wich has been in the workshop waiting to be put to good use so this cougar will not be scraped like so many in the past forward planing works lmao
was told new subframe would be £600.00+vat
when i told the guy i had one he looked shocked and is fitting it on tusday and re/test
hope to be back on road in her by wed

Good luck with the car in the future.

 

[spindleboy43]

don't quite know what that was about, i was just trying to point them in your direction as you're the one on here who brakes them ! thought i was being helpful , probably keep quiet in future !

 

[scunnycougar]

Yeah, i saw that and appreciate it.

Not going to get involved Darren - its not worth it.

Thankyou anyway.

What was wrong with the subframe? Did it have A HOLE in it?

 

[andymartin]

Match I had the same issues luckley you have a sub frame but it cost me 100quid for the frame and 150 for fitting and new handbrake cables plus a few other parts were fitted so hope you have a good garage like mine

 

[rikedwards]

Good luck with it Andrew, catch up with you and V soon

 

[mmikey82]

One of my jobs with bogey is to get it on a ramp and give subframe/brake lines and both sills a good wire brush then k rust it all and finally give it all a good wax oil or similar.

You can give me a hand to do mine as well if you like gotta do mine again as soon as rain stops
did mine with waxoil last year but paid mate to do it + looks like thats plan for this year as well

I had both rear brake lines replaced along with the handbrake cables at HQ (copper pipes) so they should be fine

 

[JJ]

That's good to know thanks John shouldn't need anything other than a waxoil over.

well the only bit that has no rust is the holes guy said when he droped it it fell to bits but even he said it did not look that bad at first

and this is the replacment st220 one

now fitted and new handbrake cables x 3

 

[tigger74]

much nicer like shinny clean parts , 3 hand brake cables?

 

[dogsbody]

Yeah, that certainly does have ahole or two in it.

Does the ST200 subframe make the car go faster btw?

 

[Quicksilver]

There is short cable at the front that joins the other two to the handbrake itself.

Says its an ST220 one. Be a first in mods and a whole lot cheaper if you can fit Mk3 subframes!! £90 for a new one
