well my thrust bearing gave up the ghost yesterday afternoon.. I managed to get home with lots of squealing!
phoned round today, got a few quotes of £440 ish...
but Mr Clutch came in at £245 in Northampton, but couldn't do it till next week....then bletchley came in at £270 and would do it today, the guy on the phone kept saying it was a 1200, and I kept saying, no it's a 1300 diesel, the multijet one... but took it in anyway at about 11, and collected at 5.30.. with the guy whinging about info being wrong, I pointed out that I kept telling him it was a 1300 not a 1200 (even though it's 1248, I think) but he didn't try to quibble price!
so I was pretty happy with that!
is the 1200 the petrol, or was there an earlier diesel version, I thought they did something to the clutches in 2006, as puntos were notorious for the thrust bearings going? or is that just in my head?
