That's the 1 cartoonhead that wield on the pivot point cost me over 1k
am i being nuts? can you not replace it with a new one?
peugeot used thread lock when they put them in so if it has sheared and left the thread end of bolt in the mount hole it's not going to be fun to get at
you could drop the sub frame , drill a hole in what's left of the bolt and tap a thread for a left hand thread bolt and remove what's left of the orig bolt

No it only cost £20 to get it wielded back up but yours went in the right gear when it snapped mine didn't.

oh yes... i remember that now.
so is the gear lever causing the head rebuild? plain!
#21: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:36 am ---- Well my argument was that the ajustatable gear linkages wasent adjusted/fitted properly and put strain on the pivot point/joint.
they said if it was down to that it was a part you supplied us with that was faulty, I said you should of set it up correctly.... it when back and forth for a number of days in the end I had to just pay for parts for the rebuild and they coverd the labour. but this did mean getting my head re-P&P'd ect so that's why it was expensive any ways that was over 3 years ago so all is forgotten
When they wielded the joint back on the sub frame there was rust around the area so could well of been just the age of the car and 10 years of pivoting just decided to snap off who knows.
I'm jut glad yours has broke off in a better way mine did, just go to any garage/exhaust place and just get them to wield it back on for £20. Even looking at standard ones the fixing looks abut weak.

Dived deeper today, and that's how it looks like above the sub-frame (when link is in place):
And when I put it out of place by hand:
Real gore!..
Hope some garage can do a decent job on this, if that can be called decent anymore
