    phew...close cll

    had what can only be described as a very lucky escape yesterday..........when leaving work's car park turning left onto a small street(quite bumpy),the nearside rear collapsed and she sat on her arse making a few rubbing and disconcerting noises....luckily only doing approx 10mph,stopped and with a quick look through the wheel spokes i could see the bottom of the coilover off its mounting!!....got the jack out to raise the old girl,and could see the lower suspension mounting bolt had gone awol...god knows how long that had been gone,allowing the shock to slide off.....thankful it didn't decide to slide off 5 mins later as i would have been travelling at 70mph on a dual carriageway.......managed to find a suitable bolt in the garage once the AA had got her home...
