Annoying noise

what is your employer going to do if your car breaks down in the next 5 minutes and it wont move ?

Will the world end ?

Obviously thats a totally different situation

Do you see all these people saying the same thing?

People in the motor trade and with a lot of car experience?

They are all saying the same thing because they are right.

They havent heard the noise to be fair, for all I know its totally normal. Plus a few of the people that have posted, also posted doom and gloom in the other thread and my holiday thread and guess what, everything turned out fine, IE I got a holiday cheaper than what I posted when I was told I wouldnt, I got the battery replaced on my car and my front splitter was painted when I was told "good luck with that"

Just do what you thinks for the best then.

This is another of them nod and smile threads now.

Yeah but a gearbox shouldn't make any noises, certainly not any which would warrant someone to think "Hmm wonder why that sounds like that".
 
Ok i'm going to drop it off at the garage I bought it from at 5:00pm today and take each day as it comes. I would have done it the other way but you people are scaring the crap out of me in all honesty

This means I have to get a taxi from there to the train station, then get the train home, then go all weekend and however much time next week without a car

Hire a cheapo car and bill them it, Enterprise has Corsas for like £13 a day or something.

Edit: Ooops not anymore! Just looked at their site and its like £29 a day now! My local had a sign up saying £13 a day though - might have been a special offer!

If a cars availability is this critical to you, is an older performance car with a months warranty you now need to rush in order to claim on the best choice?

Maybe a loss potent but newer and fully warrantied car you dont need to worry about would be better?

Which is cheaper than a new gearbox.

Just go and rent a cheapy for the long weekend, its 100 quid.

Thats exactly what i was thinking, should have bought the newest Mondeo he could lay his hands on.
 
Its 5 years old with 47k miles, its a 1.8 Toyota Corolla with full Toyota history and one previous owner. I've owned all types of performance cars and never had a problem what are you on about!? Your basically saying anything other than a brand new performance car is unreliable which leads me once again to think you dont know what you are talking about
 
And iv owned more performance cars than you have had hot dinners and i can tell you that if you need a car 100% of the time, buy 2.

Its a 5 year old 3 door hatch for god sake, you're saying a should have a second car and use my shopping trolly as a weekend car!? :confused:

I actually just LOL'd for the first time this morning, this place is bonkers, thanks for that!

I was kidding, i dont give a **** what you do or buy.

You asked for some advice, you got it, take it or leave it, but when 6 people all say the same thing, its not a coincidence, its probably right.

I took the advice on board? I'm dropping the car off tonight and i've made them aware I dont want it back until the noise is gone, i've already said this!?
You and the rest of the pack are just looking to get a few more scraps from the meal

I'm still laughing at using a Corolla for a weekend car and getting something else for a daily, that is priceless

Ok its a rainy day i'l argue with you.

Put aside the fact i was pulling your leg.

Where did i say use the toyota as a weekend toy?

I didnt, i said if you need to be 100% sure of having transport all the time, buy 2 vehicles.

Van for work, toyota for social in your case.

As for scraps for a meal, do you honestly think anyone on here gives a toss what you do?

We are all on here to pass a bit of time and help out/ get helped where possible.

Its quite sunny here :D

You didnt, I said it, but its still the same point, I cant afford to run a second car and if I could I wouldnt have the Toyota as a toy, or weekend car, or any car, i'd just get a nicer car, I dont need two cars I am one person, I can only drive once car and only have room for one car, the very suggestion to me was hilarious its the only time i've laughed all day

I dont need a van for work, I need a hatchback that suits my needs, a nippy hatch back suits them perfectly thank you, next time I need help speccing a car i'll make a thread and feel free to suggest something

Obviously people give a toss, not with what I do though but with how to twist a thread and give people grief who they dont actually know with ridiculous assumptions that are not in line with the original topic, it happens everyday and its the same people everytime. Sometimes I read it in disbelief, sometimes it cracks me up

I've received the help and actioned it, I dont understand why we are discussing my car choice and where I buy it from, thats my decision and has nothing to do with the thread, or you, or Fox or anyone else that thinks its up to them to decide. Any car can go wrong, no matter where you buy it and what it is.
