Yikes. That's what I'd call an ordeal. Good recovery though! You had better luck than most. Those 99 turbodiesels are fine cars, worth a lotta dough. Have you had any problems with the front coil spring perches? Being from Montreal I'd be concerned about rust on the welds at those locations, and elsewhere about the car. Again, great save!
