Right, after all of my whinging, griping and moaning about my car, it's suddenly stopped falling into neutral whenever it feels like it (filled the selespeed oil up) so sound to me like a certain gearbox specialist was trying to fleece me for 1k...

Anyway to celebrate i've bought myself a couple of friends, Two Emperor scorpions, Fearne (after Cotton not Britton after my missus thinks) and Yakubu... Abarth's logo is a scorpion so it's a fitting tribute methinks.:slayer:

Awww you not filling the garages pockets with lots of loverly money then ..I would tell them what a robbing sh*t he is and you solved the problem with fiat forum stilo section help.. he might even log in to find out how to mend peoples cars..:p
 
I heard after I took it to him that he's a con mate, every job 'it's gonna be a grand mate', so fortunately I got the car outta there.

I asked him if the pressure dropping could be due to a drop in fluid and he said 'no, it needs a new pump and it's gonna be a grand, the part costs £850 alone', so I phoned Fiat to find that the pump is £335 with the VAT! so i've filled the resevoir up to the top with CS oil and it's fine TOUCH WOOD!
 
not the cuddly sort of animals some people get :D

Not into the cuddly ones mate, the missus keeps rabbits, I keep lizards! (& now these)

As for garages trying to charge unnecessarily - shouldn't it be classed as some sort of attempted theft if found to be 'trying it on'? It's a good job in my line of work I work with a few garages who I could go to with my car (what I now love again) & know i'd get an honest response, I think with garages the most important thing is trust, not price.
