sell it off babes and get a newer one... All that is going to cost you LOADS!
Just to give you an idea... I had to change a wishbone and that cost £200!

i don't really wanna sell it, plus my boyfriend gets all the parts at trade and the labour is £0 cos he won't charge me...
i haven't even passed my test yet so i can get it all done slowly and by the time it's done i should have passed my test
and it did only cost £120 wen he bought it for me so all i have to do now is have some lessons
(easier said than done)

Well check this out for poor, I got a brand new rover 25 delivered on friday. As soon as I had driven it 11 miles home from work I had discovered the following:
*An exhaust bracket was missing causing a massive banging.
*The steering was completely out.
*The passenger door would not open from the inside.
*They had left the cartridge out of the CD autochanger, and when I got hold of a cartridge I discovered that the bloody thing hadnt been wired up to the head unit!!!!!!!
Its spent 2 of its five days gettting mended and to be honest none of the staff at this company seemed to give a damn!!!!
Seems ok now HOPEFULLY!!!!
Happy days!!!

they dont' give a crap m8...we hired a brand new reault megan ages ago and the steering rack collapsed while we were going done the road
wen we took it to the dealer they said "oh yeah that has been happening to a lot of them lately"...like it was ok to have steering wheel going up and down while doin' 60mph
hope all goes well now it's fixed

My car has just had an MOT, new exhaust back box & some odd piece of rubber that I've never heard of fitted - buggers charged me £130 all together !!!
:s
:s
The piece of rubber is what holds the exhaust pipe in place In other words it's the mountings * sits back and waits for the comments!*
But 130 is bloody expensif!
I do it myself personally! total cost ~ £40

Nah, the bit of rubber was to do with the fact thatit's a fron wheel drive carBeebock said:The piece of rubber is what holds the exhaust pipe in place

I think............ plus the exhaust plus the MOT. = £130Fekkers - had to -pay £85 at the vets for Smirnoff sorting out the toher day too - little bugger's been fighting !!
The only piece of rubber at the front i know about is the brush and that is around £100 to sort out!
It will be the attach for the exhaust, and it has nothing to do with it beeing a front wheel drive. It has a lot to do with the engine moving tho!
But if you got the MOT too... tat brings the exhaust to £100 which is a lot!
The latest repairs on my car are.
A new wishbone ( £200 instead of £400! )
3 new bulbe in the dash board ( £1.50 instead of £60 )
Wires to the back speakers ( £2 for the cable placed them the same time I took the dash board out instead of £30 )
Fixed a leak in the radiator. ( £5.90 instead of £300!)
New cat on the second section of exhaust ( £30 )
So by doing things myself I drove th cost down by A LOT! But I have never seen an xhaust pipe at £100! £ 50 TOPS!
And kick Smirnoff for fighting! He's way to small! What injuries did he have?
