There's two metal bars that connect from the engine subframe. To the chassis towards the rear of the vehicle. Would it be a failure if one of these bars had snapped ? Thanks Mike

Hello and welcome Mike. A picture paints a thousand words as they say. The bars seem to suggest some type of support/strengthening. I can't visualise them at the moment. We had a long discussion on this forum some time back regarding convertible cars and their strengthening bars. Many views were given and many testers believed the bars were not an mot fail, however, in that application they were a fail.

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Thanks

I’ve seen them excessively corroded and snapped or not fitted at all ,it’s a bit of over engineering and no I wouldn’t fail it but give an a advisory

I might not be the best,but i was always in the top one
