C4 Track Rod End

[JD_C4]

Hi everyone

 

Im new to this forum so just wanted to say hello to every1 on here.

 

I've got a problem with my car. I've got the C4 VTR model.

 

I had a slight bump wen a fox ran onto the road. I went to the Citroen dealers and the damages are

 

- new track rod end (Driver side)

- suspension top mounts

 

the damages cost abt £1800.

 

I want to try and attemp to fix this myself now i knw whats damaged.

 

Could someone tell me where can i get parts from apart from the dealers, and how much it will cost?

 

would German, Swedish and french stock these parts

 

Im sure it will cost less than dat to fix.

 

Thanks guys

Sorry to hear about your car m8.

 

Can you not get it done under warranty?

 

GSF don't sell any C4 parts, so you are stuck with Citroen I think?

Wouldnt the insurance cover this? If not, ive found the website www.partspool.com can be quiet good help getting the parts, but in using the website i'd advise you get the part numbers of the parts you need first.

 

I feel sorry for the fox, unless you mean one of the VW golfs then im sure we're glad its one less of them to worry about....

Hey guys thanks for the reply!

 

Well.. i did get the car checked out, and because i hit something, then it wont be covered under warranty. Plus i rather not go through insurance, havent got the protected no claims yet.

 

Ive got the sheet of paper following the repot citroen gave me. they said parts alone cost abt £786.. something Plus VAT. and labour will be about £1000. which i think is a rip off.

 

I wil try that website, cheers.

 

Any more sites? or good place that sells parts?

 

haha.. i dnt feel sorry for the fox, they just run across the road thinking they wont get hit by a speeding car. i feel more sorry for my car now!

 

thanks all

Surely going through insurance and starting without no claims is likely to be cheaper. £1800 is a lot of money. Plus have seen insurance thats been cheaper after a claim for some reason. Since your only claiming for your own car it might not bee too bad next years quote.

I walk past this place on the way to work every day and it has served my mates well in the past. Might be worth giving them a tinkle....they are nationwide
