    you know z thats exactly where he is going right now ...wouldve been in it earlier but had to get this car sorted ...


    right the car

    latest is

    it has been put on a diagnostic and it needs 3 things
    first and most important
    a timing belt so that will cost approx £200
    next an injector no idea of price
    and i dont think i remember the last ...but what he said was he will do the timing belt first that is essential and has to get done ....so hubby and i have had to go to mil and ask to borrow money she has thankfully agreed but when hubby realised i wasnt idding he got a bit of a shock ...so i am having to strike while the iron is hot so to speak ...i am gonna have to sit on down YET AGAIN and go over things with him .....this wont be fun ...oh and to top it all off i have a meeting tomorrow about my redundancy

    well the timing belt is coming in at £62.80 the water pump (apparently we need one of them as wel) is £32.95 and fitting is £105 plus vat so that added to the rest makes it alot of money and that's if that is what is broken ..hubby has went to work today he is in pain but he isnt giving up i think he is getting worried about his job...i have my redundancy meeting today will let you know how that goes ...now however i am going to sit and do an soa again
