Update on sally

[irm750]

Snap their bloody arm off for that gearbox then get it put on a pallet to your new garage! (after getting a reasonable all inclusive total price from them for fitting of course)

 

[irm750]

I like the idea of leaving the old one on a certain persons drive as a thank you gift!

i think ( hope ) that bat 21 is dealing with it and conversing with the garage ..... hopefully back on the road soon .... expect a visit from briggie folks

I spoke to the garage that has Briggie's Mistral this afternoon.

They have arranged a courier to collect the box and deliver it to their garage.

I have sent the garage £322.46 (£265 for the box + £57.46 for the courier fee). They estimated labor being £300 so, we will pay that once we have the final bill.

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 :clap

My personal oppinion is spend the rest on a major service or a chair lift thingy in the boot

I like the way you're thinking. It could also be worth saving as a bit of insurance against any nasty MOT surprises. Isn't the windscreen shot as well?

Great idea, then Briggie can have peace of mind with Sally being fully sorted.

 

[clivvy]

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!:thumbs

 

[briggie]

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 :lol

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!

let us also not forget the guys at the garage :thumb2

 

[Loz]

Glad Sally is well on the mend Briggie, well done to all concerned!

 

[irm750]

let us also not forget the guys at the garage :thumb2

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?

Ian.
