F*cking stupid heap of sh*t

[Chapster5]

The driveshaft has now gone drivers side. Need to rant really can't be arsed doing my head in now 15 quid for a new f**king drive shaft piece of crap!!!!

 

[!sean172!]

ive had worse problems that cost alot more than that

 

[BIGASH]

At least it's not passenger side and you need to drain the box, £15 is pretty cheap for a shaft, While its a pain it could be a lot worse

There's always a choice if the car's taxed and insured in his name.

Edit, I'm not stoking the fire mate. I know sometimes sh*t happens when you really don't need it.

[Rob]

I assume this is the 1.2?

Use the 200?

 

[Chapster5]

Yeh it sti drives seany with a hideous knocking noise especially under breaking and work is 25 miles away up the m6 in leyland


Unfortunately I don't have a 200 rob I have a 1.2 2000 Clio lol I meant made in 2000

 

[Rob]

LOL! I thought you were someone else, my apologies.

Someone else has a red ph1 and a RB 200.

Lol!

But. Don't worry, it could be so much worse. Don't drive uninsured. But even if you do, don't declare it on Cs FFs lol! Flamesuit on?

 

[Chapster5]

LOL

Just got a temp quote £36... No frigging way! unfortunately

 

[!sean172!]

It's either that m8 or ur bangin up the m6 with a Clangy driveshaft.... Or pull a sicky n watch jeremy Kyle

 

[skidlebop]

don't drive uninsured or you will have problems (big fine and 6 points)its not worth it

 

[Chapster5]

If I could afford a day off i would lol whats the odds of damaging my gear box? my mechanic said park it up and dont use it

 

[!sean172!]

Probably wise not to use it... I got a sport d/ shaft of u wanna refurb it but I don't know if they're thicker

 

[jenic]

Bus/Taxi/Lift off a friend?

 

[Chapster5]

I dont know how I would refurb one. My local scrappy is pulling one off a clio tomorrow for me

Try the other way around. Get your dad to call up and add you on for a week. Or call your insurance and ask them to cover you.

I just added my GF to the 182 for a week and it cost me £23.

All via admiral.

 

[McGherkin]

Don't use the car, don't drive uninsured. Get a taxi or temporary cover if it's a long distance.

 

[Chapster5]

Gutted mate

Who is your temp cover with?

I havent got any yet mate just rung my dad to ask how much to put me under his policy for the week... fingers crossed its cheap

Same age as me how old are you if you dont mind me asking?

Sounding promising going off that

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

How far away do you work ?! Pull a sicky, get a lift off a workmate / your dad / a friend / a cab / the bus / walk.

Ignorance or excuses like "I had no option" would probably not even get you off if you were taking someone to hospital that had just lost a leg or two, unfortunately.

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I'd rather lose a day's pay than my licence.

[Chapster5]

Insured on my dads car for the week now 57 quid ain't that bad I guess better than 34 a day!

 

[jenic]

What car's he got, will you get to drive anything good?

 

[Chapster5]

Nothing interesting... unfortunatley lol

Renault Grand Scenic Megane

7 seater giant bus thing lol!

 

[Chapster5]

Anyone know what the odds are of the gearbox having some damage from the driveshaft giving up?

 

[Rob]

Very minimal. How long's it been like it for?

Drain the box oil and replace for piece of mind.

 

[Chapster5]

About 2 miles but that was between the noise of grinding starting and me getting home I did stop after about half a mile to check things couldn't see anything so carried on only when I got home rang my mechanic and he said its the drive shaft sure enough I jacked the car up grabbed the shaft and gove it a good wiggle and the knocking/grinding noise was there and upon further inspection it had a slight curve to it it wast straight I'm assuming I bent it when I hit the curb back at Christmas
