Default Right, the Insignia has gone back and I have the IS back.

You and me both brother...

Clutch - bit of a curved ball that one, but it's not too sore. Would have
cost me £95 for the bits.
It's getting done on tuesday for £195 all in which is much better than
doing it yourself with only a 77 year old friend who I would not ask to
help me lift gearboxes.
In a situation like that and for not needing to take a whole weekend in
someone elses garage discovering the joys of disengaging a pull clutch
without the special tool, £100 labour is a no-brainer.
Whatever the case, with this one bill, we're still in budget for the whole
deal.
It only slips in fifth on the mtorway if I gun it, but it would only be a
matter of time before that gets worse, so it's getting done right away.

Slightly fecked mechanism on the NSR door, still trying to work that one
out.
Coupla dash light behind the LCD displays.
Carpet require shampooing.
Overall though, I like. It's good sitting up there without being in a
chelsea tractor.

What's the drill with the 306, any sizeable repairs ?


Nah, just niggles, hopefully

Passenger side electric window not working
Airbag light flashing
Dodgy drivers door stop strap
None existant rear passenger door stop strap
Various squeaks and rattles
Crease in the rear door thanks to the missing stop strap

That's about it, it's a much shorter list than I thought

Still smarts a bit though, shelling out £1100 for a 10 year old car, but it
should halve my £100 per month (at least) fuel bill

Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.
At night the ice-weasels come...
