Well done, an excellent job and one done best over the winter. I urge any of you out there who's cars are keepers to consider doing this.
We are hearing more and more subframe issues on the 4200's. Also consider replacing your wishbones too for extra longevity as due to the age of our cars are really at the end of life.
Better start saving my pennies...
Each subframe is about £750 currently for a refurbed one from SopranoStu... £1500 that's not so bad as the job will be phased over two years
Then each wishbone is what... between 800-1K for lower/upper 4no of each in total about £7200 on wishbones... EEK!
I'll ask Voicey to have a closer look at the sub-frames at the next service/MOT it has never come up before. There is a bit of rust under mine, not loads and I have seen a lot worse 4200/3200's... but I know a previous owner drove to Belgium and back a few times in the winter so best check as I'd like to keep it for at least another 5-10 years
