:banana: Lucky girl, uni failures can be expensive and dangerous.
Very lucky, it started making the noise on my way to my medical appointment, I new what it was but didn't think was actually going to fail like it did. I just said to my car "please get me there, I really need this appointment today" we'll bless her cotton socks she did but not much further! I got under and looked before I started the drive home and it all seemed not too bad, gave everything a wobble, deemed yep should be ok. It wasn't [emoji51]
Lesson learned though. Not a mistake of judgement I'll ever repeat. My car looks after me and I really let it down with not stopping before it let go.
It doesn't need to be a nice looking one with Floral Motifs & ribbons so long it appears ok for now until you replace it.Quote:

Some new unis don't have ANY, so I wouldn't bother fitting one of those. Your one looks like a Seizure failure ie. seized then snapped. New ones might be claimed to have Sealed for Life but you take your chances, personally I like summat to get a grease gun on & then you know it is Lubed. I guess you have asked the lads at Bridgewater?
