I've never heard of it before, been a mechanic for 5 years I've heard of the teeth grinding off them or them just freewheeling along with the ring gear on the flywheel but never actually come off...

If can happen. Depends on if ther plastic or metal teeth. And as kraz said. I've seen them slip and grind the teeth right down.

Why the hell go to halfords?!
Rip off merchants. Shite mechanics.

So called mechanics are generally shite and not interested these days. Just want to change brake pads all day and seems to be endless customers paying for things like topping up the screenwash.

Annoys me.

That's why a lot of completly fine cars get sold due to running costs. Could probably do it for less then a third of that.
