    *needed towing* dead

    *clutch went* dead

    BUT

    *hoping its only a bracket* dead

    mine cost me a fortune a couple of months back so just hoping it's settled down for a bit now! I don't really like driving (do about 70miles a day) so it's a pain having to pay through the nose for it.

    Do any of you DFWs have a link to a website with inflation data since 80s? doing wee project for work...

    https://www.statistics.gov.uk - which inflation are you looking at?

    Also take a look here http://www.economicshelp.org/macroeconomics/inflation/problems-measuring.html for a primer. There's a lot of alligators in the inflation swamp...
