Gears of War



I've been finding gear changes a bit...sticky lately, despite having adjusted the clutch cable (or, more correctly, had my mechanic adjust it). The problem went away for a good few weeks but is now creeping in: the diagnosis? My clutch is fooked and needs replacing.

Adrian, my brilliant mechanic has quoted about 300 quid to sort it. Sounds a bit pricey at first, but if Nationwide Auto Centre, the big franchise chain, is quoting me 335 already it seems a lot more reasonable. Particularly when you see reviews like this.

Adrian's been working on the Suzuki since we got her, around 4 years ago now, and I've never had cause to complain about anything. I'd happily reccommend him to anyone. Actually , I will. You need your car fixed? Ring him at AST Motor Services.

Besides the inconvenience, it's also just lousy timing. I wanted to use that money to buy myself some fishing kit next month :(

Plus, we're going to be trading her in at the end of the year, so these added expenses are defraying the amount we're going to be left with on the sale. Sigh. Typical.
