    Will the club be having a stand this year at all? Searched across the forums and can't find anything about it unless i'm missing something, was looking forward to attending this year.

    That’s what I was thinking it’s not like I live near the sea or anything tbh… though I didn’t own the car at its last MOT so it could have been dodgy perhaps.. I wouldn’t know but the garage I bought from was well-reviewed

    Yes I'd replace the complete driveshaft. CV grease makes a huge mess if you have to open the boots and disassemble the joints. However, as it's a Ford, you will lose some gearbox oil removing the driveshaft. So some people may prefer to just replace the joint in situ. (VW group cars have driveshafts bolted together, no loss of gear oil when swapping those).

    For a new aftermarket subframe and fitting I'd estimate around £650. (More for genuine or less for used). Seems odd though, not a single advisory for rust on previous MOTs and then suddenly the front subframe is so far gone it's an MOT fail? I'd take it somewhere else for a second opinion tbh.

    I've ordered one that looks similar from China via ebay, £12 for bit of plastic but ok if it does the job.

    Hi everyone, took my car to the garage this morning for a new clutch, get there to pay and they tell me my front subframe is corroded, an MOT fail. Great news after spending 570 on a new clutch job. Anyway, my MOT is due next month and he said he would give me a quote tomorrow, anybody able to give me a rough idea of how much it should be? Think they charge 80 an hour for labour at that garage.

    With the CV joint I'm leaning towards it being knackered so do you think it's worth the £100 quid to replace the driveshaft full Engines mounts seem ok but I will have a check And for reference my colleagues 2010 1.6d doesn't make that nose on the driveshaft so I think we found the culprit

    Thanks for your help. I have contacted Ford parts dept who have confirmed that no EGR valve was fitted. I have contacted the garage that found the code and its going back next week for them to rescan it. Once again thanks for your time and help Regards Keith

    Ok, I've checked the parts catalogues and can't see an EGR valve anywhere. I'm fairly sure it doesn't have one. Without the codes it's possible that there was a miscommunication and it was for a different type of valve. Or it may be a red herring if it was from a cheap generic code reader rather than a manufacturer specific one.
