Good luck mate but if be going right to the top and certainly wouldn't be letting them do the repair.

yeah i live right across from the sports centre and i took me 10 minutes to get to the garage as the car had no power at all.

i called rentec for a quote and they said £680.50 but i got a stainless steel manifold new of ebay for £200 and £70 for labour charges.

i also told them that my left wheel had lots of play in it and they tried to say its normal for the 172 witch i know its bullocks.

Ah I'm just round on Westfield road, what colour is yours mate? It wasn't you who followed me along gorgie the other day was it?

I am very surprised that they're only wanting £70 to do the work though, fair play I suppose.
