I am so beyond pleased... Kwikfit just called and the car is all done. Apparently no spare parts required just a minor tweak which they've done. So car retested and MOT passed and absolute best - no charge for the minor tweak

I am so happy - oh yipppeeeeeee yipppeeeeeeeee yay

I knew all those hours in college, and more of them poring over those physics and mechanics books, to get my Mech Eng HND, would come in useful one day!

Thats great news Ria.

Mine is also all fixed. I am just looking at the bill.

Its had its MOT plus the new bulbs it needed to pass the MOT, a service which included oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs and its had its nearside drive shaft replaced (which did the job - I took it for a run and feeling of sitting on top of a washing machine whilst in spin cycle at 50mph has now stopped).

Total bill - £407.

I'm actually pleased with that (well, I'm not pleased about spending £400 but you know what I mean). The local tyre place and Honda both quoted us £260 for the drive shaft alone.

We use a little local(ish) garage and they are fab. Their labour for this job was £140 which I think is brilliant. Particularly when you take into account that the last time I took it in when they stripped the drive shaft down, couldnt find anything wrong with it and then put it all back together again they charged me absolutely nothing. And the time before that I took it in for them to take a grill off underneath as it was rattling and once again they charged me a big fat nothing.

Not paid them yet mind - I forgot my cheque book and they don't have anything fancy like a chip and pin machine!
