Perhaps a better view of the offside:

For me, still not conclusive but my money is on a shadow. On the second pic I can't see the wide 'crack', at the end of the wishbone and, if it was a wide crack, I would expect to.

 

[hodroyd]

I would be tempted to say it's a crack, but an end on photo would be good to be sure..!!

 

[highlander]

Agree with Benny but this is not a photography test so if you have seen a crack in the flesh then you just need to try taking a pic with a light source from a different angle before sending it with the completed form below. If you cannot get another pic I would not send these because they look like the shadow from the edge of the mould join.

On the last pic, the 'crack' gets wider as the casting mark gets 'higher' which is what I would expect a shadow to do.

 

[hodroyd]

You could be right old chap..!!

 

[CatmanV2]

Take it you are sure that is a crack peter and not a shadow created from your flash/light source?

I'd agree. Can't see the crack into the material

You've been told before, don't encourage me!

 

[BennyD]

If you move your light source and the 'crack' disappears, I would call that a fairly cheap fix!

 

[hodroyd]

We should all try that fix, cheap as chips..!! I won't encourage you any more Buddy, but you do need to step it up a gear..!!

Do you think that would work for mine too? Lol

 

[Contigo]

Back from Emblem and car is transformed

 

[BennyD]

Into a 4200 hopefully!

 

[hodroyd]

A 3200 Transformer, well it could be anything..??

 

[Contigo]

Nope 4 wheel alignment, stuck wastegate. Loads of little jobs done plus control arm has made it drive better than ever. Had a play with a F12 on way back

 

[hodroyd]

I have to get my 4 wheel alignment done, local shop has all the shims ready to go when I am ready..!!

That's excellent news Phil, I hope it's all love and kisses again now. Perhaps not so with your wallet but a bit of man maths will sort that out.

 

[highlander]

Happy days phil

Yep I smiled all way home. I have a list of things to do but that is to make it A1/concourse. Labour of love and in Emblem I have found a proper good trustworthy lot who will get all my business from now on. Martin and Myles really are top notch!

Totally agree. It's quite a trek for me but it's worth it.
