Dave-G Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I had a similar issue several years ago when a wedge shaped piece of steel spiked the plastic fuel tank of my cab. Its amazing how much **** lays on the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs rang me at work. Says that the ka was banging at 65mph. OK below that. Mickey mouse aerial topper was the culprit. Jasper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 I heard about someone who took the car in about a clunking noise everytime they turned right - finally traced to a can of pop in the glovebox!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex did that, rang me said there is a hell of a bang when she turned right. Told he to park up and drove to her 1/2 hour, to discover a tin of briwax in the glove box on the right and a small packet of tissues on the left stopping the tin on a left turn from making any sound, but giving it a good run up on the right turn. 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they can just break but it's unusual both together. Its an Audi and fairly low slung. I passed comment that it would not happen with Toyota. Its only 6 years old and first spring on any car I have owned that's broken. Build quality 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Some years back now, my mates wife was constantly breaking front springs on an Astra. Very bumpy, rural roads around there. Oh, and she cornered like an idiot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Funny things coil springs . I've had three break , all when I wasn't in the car . One of them broke as I was standing on the doorstep , handing the car keys to my mate so that he could take the car for mot. It went with a fair crack , and all the dried mud fell from under the wheel arch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already mended lucky enough it was one of my spares although you don’t expect these things to break you would think that they would warranty stuff for at least a 120 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
