Oh, and there I was about to sign up for a Ford

I have no idea about whether they are MTA approved, but it might be an idea to find out ... ta!

Goodness ... I was thinking more along the lines of a Honda Civic I'm all about the living dangerously!

I phoned the garage this morning since I hadn't heard anything and gave them a blast for not keeping me informed about what they're doing to my car! They've resurfaced the cylinder head and relapped the valve because it wasn't seated properly ... no idea what that means, I'm just annoyed that I had to ring them again to find out what's happening. Plus, the car is still in bits and they're waiting on parts. NO idea what parts!

I'm really wobbling over whether to get rid of the car or not - getting work done on it is either going to be very expensive (going to a VW specialist) or a complete c*ck up (going to a non-VW specialist) AND very expensive ... and time consuming! Argh! I don't know what to do. I suppose I should just get the car back, save for a bit for a new one, and then see if I still want to flick it. Assuming it doesn't break again when I get it back of course

That's a shame about the Ford really because I can get good deals on Fords

That's what I'm hoping BS! Fingers crossed! When you look at the money I'd have dropped too ... eek! I might look at something a little bigger in 6 months perhaps, when we have an idea about IVF etc. Something a little bigger for a kidliwink 6 months is a good time to save for too, it will stop me from impulse buying anything!! In theory
