Ferry crossing was 80 quid each way (Pembroke-Rosslare)

I put the thumbs of big piccies , if requested I will put full size...( but they are 2MB pics each...

 

The p3 quote came at 299 all included. ( i have asked them to diagnose several warranty items also)

 

- Window dropping at motorway speed (wind noise)

- Gear Crunch when changing from 4th to 6th (6th gear synchro maybe on its way out?)

- Potential clutch drag and first gear crunch noise when trying to select first just before coming to a stop ( not very frequently though, and it is not about depressing the clutch... it is always down to the floor.)

- Top Coat peeling off around the antenna mast fixing. ( found out last week!)

 

We'll see how we ( me and my dealer) will get along... They already tried to fob me off saying "I should not be changing from 4th to 6th... the synchro is not designed for that..." U N B E L I E V A B L E ... I told them to check it and come back to me with a better explanation ( and a repair date.)
