Greetings

I bought a gen 3 2.0 coupe a few months ago and have been sorting a few problems since I got it.

Cured a misfire with a coil pack plug and lead change
Had to get a full brake line from front to rear for the rear left side as it split leaving me at the side of the road with no brakes.

Just driving home from work today thinking I've eventually sorted the issues and got a nice car I like (thinking about refurbishing the wheels.

Was on the A1 70-80 mph pulled off onto the b road home luckily stuck in 20mph traffic when........bang the wishbone has snapped clean in half. I'll post a pic when I figure out how to.

Anyone else had this happen. I feel lucky not to have had it happen at 80mph on the A1
