i've just fecked up my car :(

[rick]

just set off to go to the shops and when i was going round a corner i stalled and the engne wouldnt start up. so me and my brother pushed the car back round the corner into a parkign bay and got it started after a few expensive sounding noises, great we thort no damage done. then 2 mins later on the way to the shop we hurd a nasty rattle coming from the back right and on further road side assesment we noticed the suspention bush has given up. it seems like the jolt when i stalled was just too much for the old thing. now i\'ve gotta wait about 2 weeks untill i get payed to get it to the garage and get it fixed

i\'m going to the garage when i get payed.
shouldnt cost much if the prices are anything like his mot price £140 for a new backbox, replacement cat, replacement sensor (forgot which one) a load of misc bits and labour

[jsc]

seems quite cheap i got charged £40 just for the backbox without labour rip off and i was going to get charged £105 for a cat plus labour

[amanda]

is that 40 quid for a standard back box?

i only paid on my last car 15 quid including parts and labour

[jsc]

yes it was standard rip off but thats what happens when you send your parents to pick it up

[Stuart_SRI]

my last car failed on exhaust noise

but my mate took out the mid box and welded a pipe to make a one piece system.

and i have a 5 inch back box

£40 for back box + £40 for mid box = £80 plus labour

thats y dont let mates touch my car no more, and what was i thinking with a 5 inch backbox oh well it was my first car and i lernt the rules of modifying! 5 inch backboxs are a no no

it was a silver corsa club!!
