I took my car the garage for the second time because there was something wrong with the gearbox. The first time they say there is fuck all wrong with it and laughed in my face, bastards. So anyway I take it for the second time and they say there was something wrong with the air flow, needed a gearbox oil change and also cleaned the gearbox out because it had metal files in. NOW, you only have to bring the clutch up a bit and bang you've stalled. Is this right? I have gotta say that it is a bit smoother now! It's a Peugeot 106 on an R reg if you don't know.

I'd love to race you when you weren't giving any gas til the pedal is up.
Did they replace the gearvox oil with White lightning ?

For a 1.1, it's quite fast.
