You might get lucky, would think it would be more to be honest.

I really don't want to pay more, I have enough to pay for this car this month, this will just hurt me big time lol! I'll have to see tomorrow, I'll give them a call.

Why not pick up a s/h one as a temp measure for now.

i think you have to give them old one, to be able to get a new/refurb one.

Otherwise you get a £45 surcharge.

But i reckon you could get one for about £50.

Either that or the scrap yard.

I can give them the old one as they are literally up the road from me, if that's the case I'll do that, £50 is my max to spend, only problem from getting one from a scrappy is I have no scrappies within walking distance, miles away I tell you lol!


I don't mind having a second hand one at all, it's just getting it, I've posted up in the wanted here and in SWdubs, see what pops up there, I'll give YMF a call in the morning and see if they have one, if they need the old one I'll get it out and take it to them for the new one.


I was meant to be working in Dorchester at 10am tomorrow, no chance of that now lol!

Off topic any news on your job yet.

Yeah they are on the pricey side sadly, but look around (or get help from Wayne lol) and you'll get a cheapish one :)
