hiya , my hubbie had a new gear box fitted about 6weeks ago .in his golf
now yesterday we broke down due to the gearbox going on us . he phoned up the garage that did the fitting , apparently 6 long bolts were not fiited properly by a mechanic .
my hubbie wants to know if this could have beemn dangerous as the day before we were bombing along the motorway at 70miles per hour.
i think he wants to know what kind of comp he can expect ...

think the best he'll get is a repaired gearbox0

Is he from the USA ??????0

Surely you'd only get compensation if there was some damage caused?0

I'd ask for an air freshener for the car. Possibly a new one if I felt like pushing my luck.0

erm just read the replies , did you read my first post ,?? the gearbox was fitted badly and resulted in a breakdown on BH weekend , our weekend was mucked up .
surely that would'nt have happened if it had been fitted properly in the first place bearing in mind the work cost 700 quid !!
anyway as i say the boss knew that it had been fitted badly hence the offer of compensation .
and he gave the mechanic who fitted it ,a warning in front of my hubbieThe original janiebaby0
