hold on ....possibly some good news what a rollercoaster of a day i am having here...the guy from the garage mustve noticed i was upset (he did get off the phone quite quick when i startd bubbling) and he phoned renault they have just phoned and said they are dreadfully sorry about what has happened including the inconveniance of no car and have offered to pay 75% he says it will still cost me alot but 75% less than before ..now i am feeling elated that this might be the case but absolutley dreading what it will still cost ..will keep you all updated ..

thanks toto just read your post thank you for that...you always know how to cheer someone up ...just had the guy from the garage on phone now he is saying with our discount it is gonna cost £1500 plus vat but told me to hold on he was gonna speak to the manager so then he phoned back and said cause they have informed renault etc and done what ever (i think get it at renault cost price or something) he will give me it for £820 ...still a hell of alot but not as much as the £4000 plus vat i should be paying ..so now do i have a pernod to celebrate?

thanks pania and sugaris for your thoughts the car is just three years old and just out of warranty (typical) have found out from hubbys "brother" he says it is a big job basically the car will be stripped down to nithing all lines engine etc cleaned apparently bits of metal are contaminating everything so the full thing needs stripped

Bloody hell girl, I go off on a mission to save my daughter's eyesight (ok, slight exaggeration there) and come back to find you having a roller coaster afternoon all of your very own!!!

Hopefully by the time you read this you will know what is happening for def re the car repairs but at least you have managed to get the price down considerably. There are some advantages to being a hormonal tearful woman occasionally

Keep going, you are doing fab - these things are just being sent along to keep us all on our toes. Don't want life getting too easy now do we!!!

Big hugs coming your way from the hypno household xx

Have as many pernods as you bloomin well like, after a day like that you deserve it!! Lots of hugs. XX
