Met a bloke camped at the Jardine Ferry last October. He had a 75 Series which had done the same to one front mount - but when I saw him thundering over the corrugations a few days later, I'm not surprised he broke something.

So, you're not the first person to have this happen, but I don't know the fix - I guess you weld it back in place, then reinforce it?

I thought the roads up there were pretty good. They were at least a month or two back.

I think it depends where you drive and also what speed you drive at the time, as to what the roads up here are like. I think you might know what I mean.
