Garage just phoned me, box is out of car, i went to see it, and not good news, the spline on gearbox that slides in to clutch, is all wobbly, so bearing has gone and took out the seal, gear box oil had soaked the gearbox, i have just got a recon box and garage is putting it in now with new clutch.

Thats what happened to my burds car, i cleaned the clutch and put a new gearbox in, it slipped a little (it had a new clutch 6 months prior) but then was okay after a week. smile

the garage said, they did not want to put same clutch back in, and then put another new one in as its slipping further down the line, so he said he will put a new one in free of charge

He's known as being good. I think you'll find plenty of decent comments about him.

Good outcome anyway.

I have allways gone to Mike Hurst, for all car work and mot's on all my past cars and present one.
I remember once I took my fiesta there for mot, and it failed, he told me for it to pass it would cost £187, I said go ahead and do work, the next day I went to pick it up, and he said he had made a mistake on price, ( i thought here we go price increase) but i was shocked when he said it's only £110.
Now how many honest back street garages can you say that would do that.
