Looks like I've ripped the front jacking point off! :-(
Hi,
So I was reversing off the drive tonight and to avoid a parked car behind me had to turn slightly more than I normally would, this made my front wheel dip into soft soil which in turn made the front jacking point hit the curb underneath. On inspection, I cannot see the jacking point (the black plastic box), but I also cannot push back the metal and plastic covers that are around that area. The whole area has been pushed down by about an inch. It's possible that the jacking point plastic box is sat on the driveway but I won't know until I am back from work in 8 hours time!! I will try and post pics later, but in the meantime, has anyone had a similar experience, and is it an expensive fix!!?? Thanks. |

http://www.flickr.com/photos/3670678...n/photostream/ I'm hoping that the photo from the side of the car makes it look worse than it actually is. The one from underneath makes it look like I just need to replace the black pastic jacking point cap and secure the broken plastic bits out the way somehow?? I hope! |

easy fix to find a block of wood about the same size as the jacking point or buy a rubber hockey puck, which also fits perfectly. Carry it with you all the time and you'll never worry about the jacking points again.
