#1: Mechanics help wanted Author: A10PSW, Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2013 1:24 pm ---- Mechanics help wanted
Here is my problem:- my rear trailing arm bearing went on my Pug back in March this year so I replaced the axle with a reconditioned one from Axle Direct which came with a 2 year warranty.
Well it’s now gone again!
I know that it’s the trailing arm as everytime I go over the slightest bump its knocking and creaking and I can get my fingers behind the rear nearside tyre but NOT the Offside tyre which indicates to me its gone again!
I took it to a Peugeot Dealer who confirmed this for me but would not put it in writing unless I paid them £25 + VAT!!
The Axle Direct will not send me a replacement unless I get a report from a mechanic on headed paper to confirm fault.
It does not have to be a Peugeot Mechanic they said any mechanic would do as long as it was on headed paper.
Is there a mechanic on this forum that could help me out with a report????

You should not be liable for any cost
#4: Re: Mechanics help wanted Author: A10PSW, Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2013 2:34 pm ---- Its not covered in their warranty I already asked.

I have tried 4 garages and they all want money for this service the most so far was £75 + VAT!!!

Yeah I thought about that but they will probably phone me to check I am a legit mechanic!
#11: Re: Mechanics help wanted Author: dicko79, Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2013 7:31 am ---- Who fitted the axle you got from axles direct?
#12: Re: Mechanics help wanted Author: A10PSW, Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2013 7:44 am ---- Now sorted I found a garage who did not charge for a diagnoses and quote.
