    the chimney sweep is here now. He has a full white beard and a bandana - all he needs is an eye patch and a wooden leg and he would make a good pirate - perhaps that is his weekend job

    OH asked him if he was going to stay in business as our last sweep stopped doing it.

    he replied only if his cancer returned - he had stage 4 bowel cancer - OMG

    does anyone know if VW charge for the use of their courtesy car if you don't get the work done there? i've tried looking on their website & can't find anything about courtesy cars :o

    I cant see them charging, but if they plan too, you could always get the anti-roll bar bushes done there. I would be tempted to tell them the price you can get the clutch done, they may bring their price down. I would also see if there is a local independent garage and get a clutch price from them as well as Mr. Clutch, as usualy the service at an independent is 'usually' better than the national chains.

    VW do pricematch but they want on headed paper a break down of parts prices including part numbers & labour costs. the lady i've been speaking to at mr clutch is being so helpful bless her :)
