Drill it out and tap it for an m10 bolt, there's enough clearance in the subframe for a 10mm to go through.Then buy a torque wrench  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

If you want to lose control, crash & die in flames then sure you'll be fine.Otherwise if you're lucky take it off & there may be a chance of getting what's left of the bolt out so you can fit a new one.

what kind of jack were you using?please done say the standard one that fits in the boot? may as well just put you're car up on a block of cheese! if you haven't buy a 2 ton jack from machine mart or even Argos for about £15! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Remove the wishbone and as above there may be enough sticking out to grip to get the rest out, if not it shouldn't be hard to remove it.________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Halfords normally do a kit including a 2 ton trolley jack, 2 axle stands, 2 wheel chocks and a trolley thing to lie on. I've got all that and can't knock it |

Il pop down on weekend woody, it's my first car so much stress, it's been in accident b4, had the engine blow on it last year, so I said to myself only to replace what needs urgent attention other than that let's it carry on, mates n family moaning saying your mad spending cash, so realise need to just carry on investigate if something playing up, but not to be to paranoid about it, like today putting the tie rod end in and thought I tighten the bolts as se if they tite, but ended up snapping the p-bush bolt lol, I do love my pug but need to just nit be to paranoid, lol sorry if going on abit just needed to get it out the system lol |
