this is getting expensive. my local garage cant fix it as they cant get hold of a decent gearbox, only reconditioned ones from scrapyards with a 7 day warrenty. so its now in a transmission specialist who are fitting a new gearbox for about £500 which i suppose is quite good. (another place qouted me £700 to fix the original box). but before i told the guy in where the car is now he said polo or golf before i told him what my car is. apparently polos and golf from around that time are REALLY bad for gearboxes, usually going about 30000 miles!! im guessing the seats from that time will be bad aswell. ive heard that from all three places the cars been at. so ive had enough, ive spent a fortune keeping the car going so once its fixed its getting sold.
any ideas of what to get, im thinking focus or mondeo???
