That's a big chunk :o. I thought it was just a small part of the tail that failed usually? Were you just inspecting or did it fail while you were driving?

Passed it's MOT today :thumbsup: . Advisories on front brakes discs slightly pitted (same as last year) & front brake pads getting low. Not bad for a 14 year old :D. Just need to get out & drive it more now :driving:

I'd had a rattle for quite a while so decided to take a look. Looks like the tail end has snapped and this week a second piece broken! The rattle had become quite loud

Taken arch liners off and cleaned out the arches before some slight modifications begin in an attempt to prevent my CSL’s from rubbing.... :?

Not very exciting but had to have a new starter motor fitted. It's made me realise the old one was on its way out for a while with how quickly it now starts
