Lesson learnt there unfortunately.buckshee said:Just got to rely on them telling the truth then whatever they repair seems to not be fully repaired. Had clutch issues on our car and friend of a friend who’s a mechanic said it was more likely something else so he changed that and it was still not working, changed something else and it’s still not working and also there’s now a noise coming from the engine.It’s now at a garage being looked at, most likely the clutch is fucked which I said from the start and could’ve saved myself a couple of hundred quid and two months. 🤬
