  • The most urgent and expensive is rear wheel cylinder leaking and shoes contaminated at £173.50 apparently this is dangerous so I shouldn't even be driving.

    The rest is speedo not working, rear coil spring broken and need new brake pads at the front.

    Ive asked my friend if he could lend me the money, so I can just get it all fixed in one go and my friend who is getting married her brother works in a garage so im going to ask him for a quote and maybe leave it with them while im at the wedding... although this would involve driving a fair few miles with the leak. I guess it depends on how much cheaper itll be. I'm so annoyed... more at the cost than anything, and how I was getting sorted but something always ends up s0dding it up... I suppose it proves I need to get a fund built up for repairs so this doesn't happen again.

    :(:(:(:(:(:(

    Just got down this far to see what the bill is for.

    Personally I wouldn't be happy about driving like this but you may well get away with it.

    I do want to get it fixed asap, just don't know when I can be without my car for a day as I'm working mon-sat and need it to get to work.... I'll figure something out, don't want to kill myself :o

    Hi everyone!

    As some of you may have seen on my FB, I am looking for something, and if any of you padders have some time on your hands I'd be grateful for some help!

    When in Germany this summer, my mum spotted this perfume http://www.madmolly.co.uk/4711/4711_-_Acqua_Colonia_-_Royal_Riesling_-_Eau_de_Cologne.html?c=156&p=3789

    it comes in a range of different scents, and they also had it ina smaller 30ml size. Being the lovely daughter I am, I would like to get it her for xmas.

    I've been googling like crazy and the only places I can find it are the website above (where it's the larger size, and a bit expensive) or they do it on this website that only delivers to Germany http://www.douglas.de/douglas/index_Suchergebnis.html?query=4711

    If anyone has the time or inclination to have a look and can find it anywhere I'd be so grateful!

    xxxxxx (extra kisses in the hope of help :rotfl:)

    Lol!

    Oh and Euro, if you happen to be on a shopping trip anywhere, can you see if they do it over in your neck of the woods? (And let me know the name of the shop so I can see if they deliver) :D

    Sorry for cheekiness...

    German Amazon has it, but I don't know how much shipping was as I don't speak German and didn't want to click through to order it by mistake!
  • Sorry Silaqui, can't find it anywhere.... is there an english translation version?! x

    I know it seems to be nonexistant online! But it was everywhere in Germany, maybe they don't go in for online shopping like everyone else does...


    I've just found an interesting link at the bottom of amazon germany that I am keeping fingers crossed on, using a combo of my very bad german skills and google translate to find out info lol
