Anyone got a spare Fiesta gearbox?
Home
Clare has broken down (luckily within walking distance of her parents house), the clutch has gone. Garage says it's probably a leak in the hydraulics, which could be one of two things. Either a simple leak "at the front" which should be a quick job, or it's right in the gearbox which sounds expensive... I hope I can find the warranty thing I took out if it's that. I bet it doesn't pay out, or is hugely inconvenient or the garage won't accept it or something like that.
Either way I have to get the car, and try and get it to the garage. I hope Clare is exaggerating how bad it is and that I can drive it OK...
WAIT A MOMENT this actually is our car! Oh no, just very similar. We didn't pay that much for it...
UPDATE: Got the car home OK though the clutch was a bit funny to start with like there was no pressure. Have dug out my warranty just in case it is worth the paper it is printed on...

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become.
