Hey Rob, long shot but so you have a centre cap still available?

Hey man! Not yet...Seems happier once it's had a chance to warm up. Working through everything that needs doing but a vernier pulley is on the cards soon I think.

Recently resprayed by Keith Wingar. Bonus before pic at the end!

I lived in leicester... You have had parts off me though... I think I have met you and the GTX...
Oh looks like I'm getting confused. I've never been to Leicester but I'm sure I've had parts from you!

it was more likely Darren Hooper. he had loads of parts down in cornwall.
That was probably ...

Ben, if I remember correctly I used to buy a lot of spares from your place in Cornwall when I lived in Devon..?

The parts cost is about what he quoted, but I've no idea how much the labour should cost as I've only ever done repairs ...

My thoughts exactly :( That's including the MOT cost but it needs a new shock, ball joint, CV boot and wheel bearing. I'm assuming at the front. I could probably handle all of that myself but I don't have the space, tools or time realistically at the moment. He reckons 'twill need a new clutch ...

Any further thoughts on this? Just been given a £450 mot bill and it would be good to know whether this issue is gonna require a lot more money being spent. Or if it's straightforward enough to fix myself. It may not be worth keeping the car if it's a serious problem.

Thanks.

I see...that sounds like it could be rather painful to sort out? Do you think that's likely to be causing the problems I'm experiencing?

Aw shucks...no-one has any ideas?

Hello

My gear change has been loose for a while now - very wobbly gear stick which only notches into gear right at the end of its travel, and it's gradually getting worse. It initially started just with 4th gear, but after crunching it a few times I realised my driving skills hadn't just gone to ...
