P1ssed Off

I'm not happy. In for service and MOT today.

Good news - chassis, engine and most bits all A ok.

Bad news - Manifold gaskets confirmed as blowing , Exhaust has a hole (speed humps) , Ball joint needs sorting , Gearbox oil has little metal bits in it . Not noticed any problem, I'm now wondering if it was like that when I bought it - although it wasn't mentioned when I collected the car after it was serviced.

Cobblers, thats a poxy engine out job. Feck it no Christmas for the kids after all

I need to talk to the guy that did the work as it may just be a few bits sticking to the magnetic drain plug and not a major catastrophy after all.

shpub and Pete, you've prob seen more gearbox innards than the rest of us - any thoughts?

Cheers,
JSG.
