    What bit has fallen off? The arm? Tried a scrap yard?

    Yeah the whole arm :(
    Or Fleabay?
    similar thing happenned with my old car... what kinda car is it? How readily available are spares?

    Don't trust Fleabay any more, scammer's paradise. It's an 1998 Clio. Well this quote for £65 is from a guy who was recommended by the guy I bought the car from (who's good as gold). A Renault dealer, I'd probably need a loan!
