Hefty Bill indeed, if it makes you feel better I just paid £800 fir a bloody washing machine and I don't love them either.
Does mac kies give a car when it's in being done?

But the leak from the front diff meant that they needed it for another day, so I'm scrounging lifts to and from Partick station and then taking the train to and from home.

Ouch Jim, but look at this as a one off big job which do some good to your 8, and she will love it.
As PsYcHe said, not far off from a cost of just the service on D3 box, so it's not that bad. 1k would hurt much more Del, I know what you mean, I did same thing 3 years ago buying some amazing washing machine and I don't love it either, yes it has fancy technology inside, but it doesnt run on petrol, its not 4 wheel drive and for sure its not comfortable when sitting on it.

 My father in law fixes washing machines for a living and always advises that you should buy the simplest machine you can find (avoiding some makes). Let's be honest, who uses more than 2 or 3 programmes and do you really need it to do anything more than wash and spin?The circuit boards are the usually killer, and the fancier it is the more likely these are to fail. Who needs WHICH? Just ask my father in law!
