  1. I've finally found someone to do it! Thanks for helping me out =]
  2. Yeah think I'll be avoiding them then! Know anything about MJP Motors in Kettering? Calling them tomorrow.
  3. Nope he's too busy at the moment so I'm having to look elsewhere. Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I've never done anything mechanical on a car so I think it's gonna be too big a job for me. If anyone on the forum is confident doing it/helping me do it then I'll pay the petrol money and £250 for doing it...
  4. I've now had two local garages turning me down as they say the pedal box is too much work... really not impressed tbh as surely it's their job?! Anyone else be able to help me?! I now have all the parts and it's literally a case of fitting them. Any VW specialists in Northants?
  5. Haha I heard if the fishnets came out too it was 15% Oww you heard the message?? I sound like a posh 'tard on answer phones. Great first impression
  6. Thanks Marcus! Just left a message and said you'd recommended him so I've got you some brownie points
  7. Ah thank you! That sounds perfect. What's his name please? I don't want to ring up and ask for Marcus's daddy
  8. So would you recommend just getting the pedal box done at a local garage and then seeing if it gets through next month's MOT with the same clutch?
  9. They have said they'll match any quote I get in writing using genuine VW parts. Is this something that's worth doing or should I just get it done at a local garage? Also is it true they couldn't actually tell if the clutch was worn if the pedal box was gone?
  10. I have been quoted over £1100 to fix my pedal box and clutch by VW Kettering which I just can't afford. Does anybody know any garages in the Northamptonshire area who do this job well and cheaper? They're quoting 8 hours labour at £80 an hour.
  11. I have just taken my car to a VW dealership in Kettering who told me both my pedal box and clutch have gone. They have quoted me over £1100 to get this fixed as it is going to take 8 hours of labour. To me this sounds an atrocious amount! Anyone have any clue of where I should go from here as I'm not sure I can justify spending that amount but at the same time my Lupo is just too good and means too much to me to scrap or sell as a project. It is driveable at the moment but they said I shouldn't be driving it as it's dangerous.
  12. Really?? Let me guess... Club Revolution? Or maybe Met?
  13. Me and Lance are onto organising something over the next few weeks so will keep you all posted.
  14. Yeah you've got that right! I'm only there three days a week for college and it does my head in haha.
