    Aargh! Pt2 - the blue diesels day of death

    hey guys,

    I write to you as mollins did in a state of shock, but also embarrasment.

    driving up highway to taree monday afternoon (after fixin up mike with a replacement strut to get home) i found my car begin to swerve wildy when not going straight (not good on wet slippery road at 100).

    pulled over thinking i had a flat - all tyres fine.

    then thought maybe i had loose camber bolt - both fine.

    popped the hood and found that one of the steering rack mount nuts had come undone (i suppose my fault) - so i did that up...

    ..as i drove off i could hear a clunking noise.

    stopped again, looked under car to see my RHS wishbone pivot bolt was undone, and no longer threaded.

    I bow down to murphy and beg forgiveness.....
