Dear all. Hoping for some advice please.
I have a 4200 GT 2005, had no problems. Broke down on way to work with engine light and gearbox warning lights flashing. Car wouldn't turn on so got it to Matthew at Giallo who has dealt brilliantly with any probs/servicing etc thus far.
He has run diagnostics and 2 faults that come up are F1 gearbox pump and clutch (80% worn). Matthew tells me that the car is now running fine without issue, but he has said that if the pump is failing it could go at any time, and with the clutch so worn his advice is to change F1 pump and clutch. On top of this the car is due a 56000mile service. So i'm looking at 4k bill. Matthew is looking to see if he can get this down a bit.
The rear brakes are also wearing thin, and i don't think i'll get through mot next year withour replacing - so that's another grand at some point.
Guess my question is, has anyone had similar problems? My concern is whether i should cut my losses and sell car, as i don't want it to be one thing after another now, haemorrhaging money into it. The car is otherwise in excellent condition and I love her.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
