It packed in :(

was driving along the road with sully, and all of a sudden it made a clunk noise, and then there was a constant clicking......car still drove perfectly but i was scared to drive it incase......so i didnt drive it for a while, then thought, "ill drive it till it packs in".....and shock horror it packed in that same night!

I was pulling away from a junction and it clunked, banged, knocked.....you name it.....and i couldnt move :( so dad had to come and rescue me at about midnight.....(again - Thanks dad!!!)

bought a gearbox from a guy on ebay for £130, and dad fitted it. replaced the clutch as well just to be safe :):):)

p.s.....for anyone who didnt know,and indeed if anyone is even reading this, Fontal was Bumbles original owner before i adopted him as my own :D (bumble, not fontal!)
