slipstream Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Ok on my way home from work this evening I ran over a already dead badger in the road as I could not avoid it, and it made a hell of a bang under the car. The rest of the drive home I could hear some thing flapping about under the car so I stopped to look to see what the damage was, all I could see was bits of badger stuck to the exhaust and a bit of plastic hanging down by the rear suspension cup, anyone know what this bit of plastic is for and is it ok to remove it ? I will check for any further damage in the morning. R.I.P poor badger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Well fancy Garyt350z leaving the poor badger in the road. That's the second this week and with Mudmans wood pigeon too ! http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/97801-disasterous-road-killneed-frontal-parts/ Edited May 11, 2015 by SHEZZA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think I got off lucky too compared to gary350z! Beware the badgers are out to get the Zeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) The plastic is triangular shape and it's just there to protect some of the bushes. Not really needed but you can easily tie it back by jacking the car up and removing the back wheel. Nothin to worry about. Edit...in Wales it's normally lamb with us. Nice too, just cut a slice off the silencer with a glass of Merlot. Enjoy. Edited May 11, 2015 by ZZZebady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks ZZZebady I will check it in the morning and see if I can reattach it, at least lamb would smell better it did stink under the car when I popped my head under lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipstream Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Put the car up on the ramps today down a kwik fit to check for any more damage and all was ok, just bits of badger every where, the poor lad that worked there nearly through up, which I found funny! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
