I know from studying the forum that this subject has been done to death but would like to share my own recent experience [V]
My ZX has had the usual rear end rattles & bumps associated with subframe mounts for a while. Yesterday I happened to be passing my local Citroen dealer so I popped in for a chat. The service guy was very friendly & helpfull, showed me the guilty parts & generally talked me through the possibilities.
It was suggested that the rear rear bushes could more likely be shot (based on my description of the problem) and that they were the cheaper to buy & replace [;)]
The two quotes worked out at 1. Rear rear only £120 parts & labour.
2. All mounts £405 parts & labour.
Parts prices were Fronts £45.88 + vat, rears £26.35 + vat EACH.
Labour was £50 PER HOUR + vat [:0]
At these sort of prices & without the likes of GSF & Haynes and of course this Forum, how many low value motors like my mine would end up at the 'recyclers' ? [:(]
Still fancy a VSX Xantia TD though! Anyone want a cheap ZX Reflex 1.9D with a wobbly rear end? [:D]
