aww nuts..

[ben]

Found the reason for the needed bump start, starter motor gone, or more acurately, the cog on it

Local garage want £130 to replace it, good price?

I swear I've spent more repairing my car than doing anything to it! This month on repairs have been around £400!!!!!

AAAAARGGGHHH! [xx(]

shoulda bought a punto then all you'd have to deal with is a door lock flap snapping after it's first winter...JUST LIKE THE LAST f**kING ONE DID!!!!!!!!

pop the little pea cosies on...highly effective

 

[Donz]

go smaller buy a sei - then your doors ARE flaps!

Glad to hear your getting it fixed, but yes that price does sound high.
Where's it being done, a fiat dealer?

Si.

No, local garage. £80 + VAT for the part and whatever left for fitting it. The AA wanted £126 for the part, so I dunno. I couldn't move it anyways, so just wanted it done

I suppose you have to bite the bullet and get it done. If I had to pay that I would have scrapped the car. £130 is probably twice what my little Panda is worth anyway - if that!
