Default it's been expensive month motoring wise

2 mot's and a to be clutch fitted was this months challenge

First of all i put the bmw in and it passed but had a noisey thrust bearing which got worse rather quickly

Then it was the turn of my escort van luckily i found a guy starting up a new bussiness and likes to take care of his customers.

it needed

a windscreen
the brakes done which lead to brake pipes shoes master cylinder and a new caliper was sourced and fitted
the horn the hazards didn't work
both sills needed welding
the exhaust needed sorting

anyway all parts were got fitted and i recieved it back mot'd and only got charged £250


Then the BM went in for it's clutch replaced which i must add decided to spit the dummy while the van was in totally and i had no choice but to drive it too work without using the clutch for a few days again the clutch was bought and fitted by Gaz at his garage and the bill was £230 much cheaper than i was quoted anywhere else so it was a bit of a bargain


pic of the fucked clutch i was told abused wasn't the word
