Red face I just love Scooby ownership

Car booked in next week, to have both sides de-smashed

Got clutch replaced Monday costing plenty bucks


Now it looks like my gearbox has given up




Anyone got a cheap 6 speed going

For the price of rebuild + labour, i dont think a six speed box would not be that much more. I hope

not being funny mate but you are just chucking money into your car which is doing absolutely nothing for it's resale or current day value. You'd be better off getting a new scoob on finanace - you can get em for like 299 a month and then putting the cash you are spending on repairs into that.

I used to do exactly the same as you with my Turbo 2000. Over the long run the WR1 cost me a lot less to own.
