  1. hi, I have a 2001 3.0 v6 71000 miles and noticed a "klunking" from the rear when accelerating and braking, took it too my local garage to take a look and, yes. the rear sub frame was badly corroded, I was given a few options by the garage, who I have used for years, one was to get the sub frame repaired/refurbed at a cost of around £380 plus vat or a new part at a cost of £585 plus vat or of course get a second hand part from a scrap yard. As I am intending keeping the car I have opted for the new part and told it will be in the region 0f £1400 with labour maybe a little more as until he strips it down over the next few days he doesn't know if more parts will be required. I love this car and think it is well worth the expense. :D
  2. Thanks for the replies..i am goin to get under the car over this weekend and take a good look myself and try what has been sugested...
  3. hi, new to the forum, had my 2001 s type 3.0 ltr v6 for around 7 months now, love it, had it in for its MOT last month and failed on OS track rod end ball joint, OS front outer ball joint and OS rear roll bar ball joint dust cover, all sorted at a cost of £240. there were advisories of OS and NS front to back brake pipes "slightly corroded" and deteriorated rubbers on the rear tie bars, I am thinking of sorting these before the next MOT is due and I was wondering if anyone has tackled either of these jobs themselves?
