Default Just failed my first MOT

Coz I forgot to change to the legally spaced number plates before I took it in.

Fortunately. they gave me a call and said "bring them down when you come to pick it up and we'll sign off the MOT."
They said just leave them in the boot next time.


Result. Legal for another 12 months.
Just need to sort the extended warrantee now.
I'm thinking around

Davey_S2 does some good deals Fletch IIRC. I'm not sure whether it worth me getting one though, the car is going to become increasingly more modded and less and less likely to be covered by the extended warranty

That's what I'm waiting for.

How much is a new gearbox?

Fletch, contact Dave Stroud (Davey_2) at Brayley Honda in Hemel Hempstead, he'll do it over the phone - contact details in the dealers section on s2kuk.com - Herts is the county it is listed under
