  • Just been on the phone to my dad. He says to get it checked at another garage, see if they agree with what the guy today said. He reckons he might've been stringing me a line so I'd sell him the car and he could do it up and sell it on. And even if he's wrong, the garage I usually use have quite cheap labour costs and as most of it's welding, that might well bring in into my price range again.

    that happened to me 2 years ago kayleigh, my mate took my dads car to be mot'd and it failed and they wanted £400+ to fix it, anyway the bloke who lived next door at the time did up cars so i asked him to do the work and gave him the mot cert, anyway he said he was going to get it re mot'd before he touched the car, it failed on a bald tyre thats all

    Night Elfen and Claire.

    The cat has decided it's bed time, she just went and stood in the dining room (where she sleeps) and stared at me until I shut the door for her lol

    They have huge testicles don't they? As I kept a mixed group and mine were rescues all my boys were neutured, squishy fat lumps, I loved them. I miss having pet rats. the Guineas still hate me!

    Mahoosive hun :eek:

    I miss ours too, such lovely thngs. Ours ate the living room curtains, and the wires for the playstation, but we still loved em. Much nicer and friendlier than GPs IMHO :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
