Must be about £350 - £400 one way!!

The Captain might do it for a tenner through, but will his gearbox last the journey?

I don't think he will be seeing Abraham, Isaac, Jacob on that journey, but if the grinding continues he might not see all the prophets from the hiring!!

Skoda superbs are still VAT free at the moment, I wonder why he has not bothered to get it sorted, I posted a link to a place who will do it
It could be a bearing in the Alternator that's gone that would make a similar sound
If it is the gearbox it should not cost no more than £200 to sort
