Got the garage bill for the megane....

It was just under £1700!
Ouch!
So I am now officially broke until the end of this month

Here's what got fixed:
Driveshafts - both sides
Brakes - front and rear
Oilchange
Handbrake cable
Fuelfilter

The upside is that it pulls really well for a 1.6 8v 90hp engine

I might end up selling it and maybe buying something else...

That's a lot of money but just general wear and tear parts what you planning on getting if you did get rid of the Megane i guess it's not going to be French

ouch!! mate that seems very very very expensive!! i think you'd have got that little lot done at the garage i work at for around 350-400 bills

Jason

Rybo: You got that right! No more french cars for me, only german from now on
1250cinqturbo: Cheap as your garage may be it would still be a 1200+ mile trip each way just to get to england.

yeah that is abit expensive and i do have big bills like that sometimes to lol and it is pants wen u get them

HAHA god point!!! and i forget you mean dollars right?? and your in the US?

Jason

Fishygt: I hate those bills...
1250cinqturbo: Me? I'm in Norway, the land of the vikings...

aaahh okay sorry, Norway....ill remembers that

Jason

That's ok, nobody's perfect...

True....it was the name YANKEE that threw me any reason for the name?

Jason

Not many French cars on here

Jason: There is a simple reason for my nickname, when me and my parents lived in america when I as a small punk the first place we stopped was in New York and in our house there (we lived in Cincinnatti, Ohio) I had a poster of the New York Yankees that's where I got my nickname "YANKEE".
RYBO: I've been offered to buy my old Volvo 760 GLE back, it needs some repairs but it is solid.

Well you can't go wrong with a Volvo good solid car same as the German cars it won't let you down and if just needs a few bits doing on it's going to be worth it

There is one BIG problem with said Volvo... and that is the V6 up front.. it's a stinkin' PRV unit pumping out a lazy 150-ish donkeys

volvo are good for wearing tyres out fast lol

cant belief how much the megane cost ahhhhh dear u wont to german mate

V6??? im sure you mean a straight six i work for Volvo

They may do a V6 over there but Volvo have never released a V6 here they are all straight six engines kicking out a min of 200bhp

Im sure the American market has a V6 engine so though maybe you guys had these supplied rather than the English markets engines?

Thanks

Jason

Well James, it seems I won't be going for the Volvo after all seing that it's not what you would call mot'd any longer and I've heard that it needs a new rear axel besides the B280E engine is thirsty!

So for now I'm gonna keep the little french rodent known as the Megane...

I'll try and upload a pic of it.

And no Jason, I ment V6, but the engine (B280E) was really quiet for a V6 I should know after all, this is my old car I'm taking about.. besides over here the only older Volvo that came out with a stock straight 6 was the 960

mmmmm a true volvo, designed with a ruler and made out of concrete lol

The good thing about that car was the engine, I really didn't hear it below 3000 rpm! The only bad thing about it was that the engine was made by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo... When I tried to do a few burnouts the wheels hardly moved but they made ALOT of smoke!

They do weigh quite a lot but a very good built engine.
