this is great news, the repair bill is about right too!! I liek the idea about having the windscreen checked though, lets not forget that AND unforseen costs, this is all very exciting, i'm dead chuffed!

briggie · 31-03-2010, 20:26

the garage rung me , they said the gearbox will arrive on tuesday , but arent sure when on tuesday , they estimate a couple of days to fit the gearbox due to other jobs in the garage .

i still cant find words to express my gratitude ,will you forgive me ?

sheila ( our lass ) says thankyou ever so much because i was becoming a pain in the arse

Major service is a good idea. That way everything will have been checked and given a clean bill of health. Should give Pete some additional confidence that all is well.

Would be worth getting the windscreen done through Briggies insurance. Usually just an excess to pay.

So chuffed to see that this is coming along. Major thanks to Bat21, Clivvy and all actively involved and of course Briggie himself. Will be great to have him back on the road!

If they are looking after you is it worth telling us who they are and giving them some positive publicity?

Or would you rather wait until they have successfully finished the job for you before you name them?

That is going to leave approximately £300 in 'the fund', once Briggie is back on the road we will have to work out where that money goes.

Progress at last

please please please... tell me you paid via paypal for the auto box direct ...

so we got some buyer protection
