Great news!

Glad you're sorted Ben, though I think we wre all hoping to get you back into the fold proper-like

When I'm back MGFs & TFs will be a lot rarer and I'll probably be a silver fox

haha im late to this party! those shafts do go, more in the diesels i've seen.. glad thats your cheap fix matey.

it's the same as jacking one side of the car up, the diff just spins, with added Tombola noises

Just ordered the part will be 'reytened' properly over the weekend

Hey, I work at seat so if you ever need to pick my brain give me a shout, watch out of the wires cracking in the doors, symptoms include locks inop or windows. That driveshaft is common on high mileage cars

I have two mates who are both mechanics. I pay them a bit for some side work and they sort me out. Gone are the days of paying garage rates. Win Win. I might pick your brains the next time the Alhambra plays up.

I miss my MGTF but can't justify having one at the minute.

Think eventually i'm destined for a fast family car. For now bigger is better, style and gismos are secondary to being able to the twins tackle and a mrs that doesnt pack light.

Get yer self a jag.

When this one packs in I'll decide what I'm doing. For now my money is being spent nicely on family stuff.

Maybe when this masters is done I'll treat myself when I land a better job.

Till then its pay the bills as usual and don't get in debt situation. I might not have the newest car on our street, but I manage several holidays a year and get out and about a lot

Nicely??????????? Sounds more like your money is being spent most horribly, to a single bloke like me!

i wouldn't worry, in my experience most new cars are attached to a job, or the bank owns it.
the amount folks tick away on depreciation and finance, or contract hire, is hilarious.

Exactly, we were nearly blowing £600 on cars till I got rid and got my tf, saving money had having fun now!

Fixed now. Gave my mate £20 and he did it for me.
