I know the feeling Derek..as you know from Facebook my power steering pipe burst on Sunday night. Got it sorted yesterday but my mechanic discovered whilst putting seals on my thermostat housing (a job that was needing done for a while) that the whole thing needed replaced so that was another £100 n top of the pipe & his time...aaarrrggghhh!!!
The joys right enough!! Hope yours aint too serious!

no big deal mate ,its worth a look his gear stick just flooped about and i just pulled the gaiter off and seen the cable was off and its 200 quid for the cables so i couldnt be bothered doing them so i just put a cable tie on it and wraped a bit of tape round it and its still working
