Its Hamilton Street jay. Green classic on Asda carpark this afternoon. That was clean as well. We must be doing something wrong. Police all around Hindsford again checking car taxes.

That's the one. Good job your already a member and you don't have to rely on my description. Spotted you on Twist Lane in Leigh this evening near Sainsburys Island but the completely ignored me. I was waving frantically.

Wasn't me Andy. I'll be heading off towards Abram tomorrow morning and then through Goldborne a bit later.

AndiT, I've often thought about the Blackjax system for this reason but I'm not sure. Pretty damn close to me for my liking, but mines an old car now and I think the Cupra is the 'IN' car at the moment so probably stolen to order.

A couple of cars taken from same house in Well Street last year at gunpoint. Scary when its only 3 streets away. They broke into the house and demanded the keys. If they had come here they could have had the wife and dogs as well.

Sorry to here that. Am gutted for you. I'd be very pissed off as well. Suppose any warranties on the car will wriggle out of paying even if it is faulty parts.
Hope you get it sorted.

that is unlucky. Who are you taking it to in warrington? I know there is one company that does gearbox rebuilds but reputation wise they arent to good, cant think of the name but it will come to me. I nearly took a nissan gtir box there but was advised against it by many people, as they tend not to always use new parts (including bearings) on the rebuilds.

can subaru not pay at least some of the costs seeing as it is only just out of warranty? Specially if they have serviced it themselves as a gbox should not go that soon (unless it has taken serious stick)

I think the place in warrington I was on about used to be called warrington transmissions (original eh!) tried doing a yell search and nothing is coming up so they have probably shut down.

yeah they seem to be okay, must be to have a dealer network. I take it though they will just recondition your box // diff as they don't have the subaru listed.
