Ah, the news no-one wants to hear.. our lovely 94 turbo has failed due to excessive corrosion on the subframe, don't have full details yet but the garage is saying beyond economic repair.
If I get hold of a second hand frame in good condition and clean it up and treat it etc, what sort of job is it to have it refitted? Obviously would need a crane so garage job as far as I'm concerned, but is it likely to be the cost of the replacement part that makes it uneconomical? Just trying to think things through for future plans. The car generally is in good shape, not perfect but better than many I've seen. Also mileage is low, something like 85k. It would be shame to get rid of it, though if we did we'd definitely get another one!

Re: MOT Fail - subframe
I have PM'd you. I have a subframe if you want it. I've had a couple of enquiries about it and it's first come, first served!!
