Vehicle woes...

[NozSpark]

First off my CV joints have been giving me hell on the van so I was going to book it in this week to be repaired - both drive shafts need to be replaced as one CV joint is FUBAR and the other is on it's way and Renault in it's wisdom don't do splitting shafts like most other manufacturers

and then the thrust bearing on our car collapsed 2 days ago so we've got to get that sorted as well (complete clutch being replaced tomorrow)

Blinking garage is taking a fortune off me this week

Oh and TAX is up on both vehicles

Bad timing or what!

I did see... a bit far for me to go for a test drive though

I dont keep mine long enough for them to break. I trade em in when the ashtrays are full....... (not that I or any of the family smoke).... I have had 4 cars in the last 12 months!

Obviously, most of your customers are in the "Tried to fix it.." bracket.

Have you tried to find out if there's pattern repair kits or recon shafts available from anywhere?

Most likely cause of this failure is someone driving the car with foot resting on the clutch pedal - a very expensive habit.

Intending to keep this one for a while.

Thanks for the advert `pache - though it happened that someone showed an interest in my van 2 hours before I saw the one I`m buying - and he`s giving me a bit more than the trade-in would`ve been

So its sold already

Rev: If you only keep `em till the ashtrays are full, but don`t smoke, what exactly do you fill `em with? Mrs. KME is confubbled by your post - she reckons you don`t change cars at all, as you never fill t`ashtrays!

 

[Andy™]

what exactly do you fill `em with?

Cremated remains of trouble customers by the sounds of it

 

[NozSpark]

I think the Rev is branching out into mobile cremations

TBH most parts of this nature are old reconitioned units and I know from talking to various mechanics that there is no repair kit for this van.. blinking French piece of &%
