New engine for my car is required!

Everything else will be small fry after this!

I jinxed it when I said the engine would be next when I had the third gearbox fitted.

Ho hum!

I would have to cut down on unnecessary expenditures, and play time fun will be one of the casualties.

The first gearbox lasted 130k miles, and with the way I drive, I did pretty well out of it to be honest.

The second one had a fault, hence it was replaced without charge.

As for the engine, personally, I knew that would happen one day, just did not realise it will happen this soon.

Got a pool car from work until Monday, so that I can still meet up with a potential playmate later today (Sat).

The garage has arranged to lend me one of their courtesy cars, so I can still go out and about.

I should be able to borrow the pool car from work again for the Halloween weekend so that I can go up Cannock and Chams.

Travelodge is about to release more 9 GBP rooms, so no doubt I shall book a few nights at my local one.

Sorted!

I am on my third gearbox, the first one lasted 130k miles, second one only 7 months and was replaced without charge by the third.

The way I drive, it is a miracle everything lasted this long to be honest!
