steve_ancell	I used to do most of my own car repairs until health related stuff fucked me up. I still do small bits, like timing belts and stuff, but anything else gets done by my mates.

steve_ancell	I know what you mean, the novelty of getting greasy wares off once we're in our mid to late 20s.

Jayenkai	More than me! I hope your "back box" is ..um .. Repaired, or something? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Good thing about owning a Diesel, the back box lasts flippin' ages. My dad owned the Astra for about 8 years, I've owned that same car for the last five after he gave up driving it, only ever had to change the back box once. It was rotten as hell but not too bad for a 12 year old exhaust at the time, the rest of the exhaust system is still in pretty good nick.

Jayenkai	All that in just 3 years!? Geeze, that must've cost a bloody fortune to keep going... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	A mate of mine has the same Mondeo as you, he's been lucky so far in the 7 years or so that he's owned it.

steve_ancell	I've only ever owned a few Fords. I've mainly had Vauxhalls and Renaults. Had a Citroen ZX once, nice to drive until chavs smashed it up one night. Had one Peugeot 1.9 litre 405 Automatic, worse car I ever owned although it went like stink when I wasn't having starting problems. The Peugeot disappeared one night and was found on the South Downs completely burned out. \|edit\| I vowed to never own an automatic after the Peugeot, the only way I would have one now is if I ever lose a leg. Although I do know how to pull away and change gear without use of the clutch on a stick-shift vehicle \|edit\|
