After a massive 89,000 miles my Skoda has developed a problem with its diff bearings in the gearbox.

It is 2 months out of warrenty, so no hope from those useless tw*ts.

I will slate the vehicle in a future issue of taxitalk.

Usually its 2 years Manufacturers warranty and a 3rd year dealer warranty..........or 60,000 max if that happens first.

dunno...89,000 miles and I guess any make of car would be showing up issues.. eusasmiles.zip

A gearbox though?

It's not even near needing a clutch.

Useless sh*te.

Nope, I have driven cars for too many years and too many miles for that to be an issue.
