Just the 6 monthly oil change, and while it was there I asked them if they could fix my gear knob. Its become loose and just spins, theres no way of unscrewing it as whatever its screwed in to is loose. I went to pick the car up on Saturday and was told 2 mechanics tried to fix it but couldn'nt! "we could cut it off" I can do that!!!! £35 for a leather one or £50 to replace this one
