So

Some of you are wondering or were wondering what was wrong with the car

So the short answer is that the linkage between the Gearstick and the Gear box has snapped...this means that the car will go into gear...but not out of gear....This due to the specifity of the part and its location is going to cost £200 to fix...bugger....

So far this month I have spent on the car

£70 - New Battery
£430 - Service (New Exhaust, Brake Disks, Pads)
£200 - Repair Gears
___________________
£700 - TOTAL

Man these things are far too expensive.....

I feel your pain man! The last two times I had to pass MOT it cost 700-800 pounds each time cause so much stuff had to be fixed. Not to mention the time I needed a new radiator (big hole in it!), or the time some kind of air intake control valve / control unit broke (causing it to instantly stall when idling).

Still, they are convenient...

Yes they are...if they wern't so damn useful I probably would have gotten rid of it by now...but Pete and Clare live up such a big bloody hill......
