    yeah it's printed in the official advisory section.
    £250 to replace 2 rear flexi pipes.
    Needless to say she doesn't trust anything they say

    must have been gold plated hoses. have a look at the diff then, see if there is any play in it. did your friend not get a quote first to do these hoses.

    Had a look at this today, nothing wrong with the box at all. One very knackered inner cv joint with torn boot and bits coming off it - not the 500 recon gearbox the garage tried to conn her into!
