Our car is getting older. It’s got over 200 000km and is about 13 years old. Over the last few weeks, we knew there was a problem with the clutch. Then on Thursday 30th May, when Esther had more problems, I took it to the garage and explained what the problem was. he listened, played a bit with the gears. There were things to be done on the car the following week anyway so I asked if I could drive safely until then. the mechanic said it should be fine and I left. The following day, I went to Rostrenen and came back without any problems. But on Saturday afternoon, when we were about to leave to take Jean-Baptiste to his football tournament, I couldn’t pass any gears anymore. The clutch had died.
On Monday, I called the breakdown cover and had it towed to the garage who lent us a car while they where looking after the problem. Esther got it back on Friday.
