[Ryan]

fucked rear beam.

plus a few more bits more than likely.

[Ryan]

and no you cant straighten it, needs a replacement.

[J-Reid]

how much do ya think itl be ?? ish.

[Jamie]

pretty sure its a pricey fix, sorry to rain on your day mate that sucks!

[Nick_106]

need a new rear beam, and have the boot floor checked for any creases tbh!

[Elliott]

oops! was you actinggg sillllyyy?

[smiith]

and no you cant straighten it, needs a replacement.

wimp tbh ryan...

get a scaffolding pole,weld it to your hub, and bend her back, good as new... cant be much worse than standard cit/put parts ;)

[Jazz]

As Ryan said, rear beams gone. Time to hunt out parts people. Quite a few on here actually... As Cit dealers will charge you silly amounts.

[Ryan]

second hand vt beams go between 125-200 thats not refurbed either.

plus fitting, plus if you damaged the mounting points.

[J-Reid]

oops! was you actinggg sillllyyy?

ha no, tight corner and was pissing it down, i came off lucky realy, i didnt hit anyone.

[Elliott]

oh fair play mate, lucky really was there many people around

[OLLYVTS]

A new rear beam is going to cost you at least £120-150 plus then you have you fit it.

[J-Reid]

no people around here dont like driving in the rain lol., now i know why!
looks like i'm goin to save up for a rear beam, thanks for ya help.

[smiith]

[Adz]

My cousin got a rear axle from the scrap yard for £30 and Me,My brother and him fitted it our selves, it also came with shocks aswell.

[Furio_Rob]

i spun mine once in the rain round a blind corner
if a car was coming the other way i'd be dead
luckily it was ok, but i feel for you :(

[Mrk1]

Thats a bitch mate, rear beams are pricey to replace.
I had a slide in the wet the other day. Slapped a hedge and dented the side panels, real pain in the ass as I was just about to sell up aswell. :n:
Bloody english weather ! lol! Hope you get it sorted :y:

[Matty_Mills]

as i said in a thread a few months back, did the same... beam cost me £90 and it is off a peugeot 106 (fits perfect) and £150 labour....
but get your boot checked!

[JC-Furio]

shit that mate

saxo's r a nightmare in the rain

Just don't drive it like a prick in the rain then, if you take corners at about 5mph less than what they should be taken at you will have no problems...

[Nij]

all done - no other damage at all.

was a pain to change though, everything that could go wrong did (rusy nuts and bolts - broken bleed nipples and bust brake cylinders)

[JimoVTR]

as i said in a thread a few months back, did the same... beam cost me £90 and it is off a peugeot 106 (fits perfect) and £150 labour....

i smashed the kerb with my rear drivers wheel and it bent in just like urs thought my rear axel was bent (urs could possibly be bent) but it wont i just bent my wheel back put it back on and found it was scraping 4 some strange reason so when i took wheel off again found the inner wheel arch was bent so just hammered it back now is good as new.

[Nij]

the rear beam was bent - very bent. the inner arch was slightly bent (now straight) all is good now
