Does anyone want to play "find a decent petrol estate that's more reliable than a Megane for around £1k"?
Or
Or actually this looks like a pretty solid little car as long as you don't need loads of space

Thanks for those.
I hadn't seen one of those Mazdas but I quite like it.
Thankfully it sounds like the repair on mine is only going to be £180 so I'm going to stick with it for a bit. Despite the fact that it's been a big pain in the arse I do like it.

Just as a heads-up, you can frequently get away with removing all the text after the '?' in a URL, as it's often just a bunch of query parameters passed to the site. Especially if there's some sort of ID-looking thing just prior to it. This is most commonly the case when all the text after the '?' relates to the parameters that were used in the search, or when it contains info about where you were directed from (e.g. email marketing links, affiliate links etc.)

Our car has crapped itself again, I got a call from my wife yesterday (the day after the call about raw sewage leaking into the house) to say the gearbox had gone.
It had seemed a bit clunky and the gearstick was moving when I stopped accelerating but internet opinion on this ranged from "it happens in Renaults" to "The gearbox/engine isn't mounted properly and it's fucked."
It seems like it was the latter.
Is this likely to be a write-off? Bearing in mind the car cost £800.
And other stupid questions:
What will my insurance cover and not cover with regard to repairs? We have breakdown cover but that would have taken two hours and my wife was five doors down from a garage.
