cars been towed away
It went to Peugeot early last week for a service, and they found that the flywheel was cracked and had damaged the inside casing of the gearbox
They replaced the gearbox/clutch/flywheel all under warrenty, and i got the car back Friday just in time for FCS and the modded nationals
The car was fine all weekend, did 600 miles no probs, went out to it this morning to find a big puddle of oil under the car, called the breakdown people out, the bloke came 20mins later (amazing service), and found the gearbox has NO oil in it, and the 5 day old gearbox appears to have seized up
Peugeot came to collect it, but it was 2 low to get on the back , they finally got it on a 2nd lorry
Looks like it had been leaking all weekend, but it all collected in the under engine cover, so i cud'nt tell, and i had been told bt Peugeot the new gearbox wud be stiff for a while, so i thought it was normal, whoops

It Wasnt Me!
roybacer, a mate of mine got the sack for a simmilar thing (although he'd had a couple of warnigns before) he worked for arnold clark, left an oil filter loose on a courtesy car, the old ppl took it home and it leaked oil over there drive, so arnold clark had to pay for the drive to get sorted and he got the boot! so aye i'd say it would be worth it
