briggie · 30-03-2010, 20:01

hi briggie about the git who sold you the car best not to think about the ass hole any more and get on with getting your truck on the road

think i may buy the next car he has on ebay tho,,,

and take him and it for a a little drive

if i was closer would have done that for you already........ any way i would not recomend towing a auto with out taking the prop off may cause a lot of damage

dont they have a tow truck which they can put it on the back off or even a trailer to put it on? most garages do i thought!!!!! hope its no back street garage running from a garden shed

?

the mirror on your wing so so that you can do your hair

and because it is more than likely a import! no mirrors on wings on a uk car ! from the factory!!!

briggie · 30-03-2010, 20:26

no , its quite a small garage who specialise in 4x4 mods for off roading , and general servicing , they do not have a tow truck , but they have kindly offered to drain the gearbox , clean the filter , refill , check levels when cold , check when hot , adjust , and road test all for £30 so i cant cant complain , at least it will let us know if the problem can be easily sorted .

kind regards

no i dont mean the parking mirror , i mean the little clear plastic thing behind it

sidsid06 · 30-03-2010, 20:29

clear plastic thing????? lunch box?

sidsid06 · 30-03-2010, 20:30

that cheap enough for the garage to do that for 30 pound

still would not tow befor taking the prop off tho!!!

briggie · 30-03-2010, 20:35

he did say if they did that , that they would have to tow it slowly .... around 15-20 mph , its about 2 and a half miles from here to the garage , will that be ok ?

briggie · 30-03-2010, 20:40

oh , another thing , they said the thing they will tow it with is a rigid bar .

still would not do that briggie!!! best to be save than sorry i say!!! it only 4 bolts their have to undo!!! and tie the prop up till they get it too the garage!! no need to take tha chants of breaking things in the auto box.... when it might be a easy fix your problem at the mo well lets hope so
