[pip_polo]

past few days it's been hard to get reverse.
this morning at 7.45 it decided to totally block reverse.
so i had to push the blooming thing out the drive

whilst i was at work a mechanic looked at it and i need a new clutch and gear box.

so i have no car for tonight.

get it back for tomor though.

wow thats harsh, you sure it needs a new clutch and gearbox? I would get a second opinion mate cause my car wouldnt go into reverse and it turned out to be gear linkage!Btw how much is that setting you back?Cheers

Hi Daz

it's going to cost about 150

[dragon_green]

not for a new clutch and gearbox it ain't, not unless you've got a very (very) good friend in the industry.....

[mysteryboy]

dodgy dodgy... New clutch and gearbox for 150? Parts alone would exceed that amount...

Double check exactly what it is they are doing...

[pip_polo]

ma girlyfriends dad is doing it

so i'm savibng on labour costs and he's in the know

[vdubyabush]

haha best way

[pip_polo]

yeah sure is, and a lot cheaper

get it back later today

[mbh69]

usually you'd stick a clutch in while your doin the gearbox as it's easier and won't cost much extra

[pip_polo]

well it wasn't the gearbox after all, like someone said ^^^^
it was the gear selector cables, so cost nothing to fix.

saved me 150 squid that
