How frustrating about the car. Woo hoo to painting though!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee5

Rebuilding it from scratch I think!!It could depend on the make of the car and parts needed beanie. I know a number of people waiting repairs not just Mobility and the parts are stuck on the other side of the channel. I've been waiting for a replacement part for one of my sewing machines from West Germany for a couple of months. It's like waiting for Godot!With all the snowy and Icy weather there are probably more cars in for repair too. It isn't right when the loan one is so unsuitable but try to distract yourself with the decorating which should lift your spirits when It's done.polly-who is fed up with this bloomin' insommnia x

Anyway. I have now spoken to car hire people & told them as I have to have a hire car for another month I would prefer another car. At the end of the day I pay £62 per week for the car & that's a lot of money.
