We don’t live in a big city so we need a car to move around. We bought our Fiat Multipla 5 years ago, and it had already some mileage. It is 13 years old now, and still going well. But is is sometimes showing signs of ageing.
When we drove down last week, there was a strange feeling with the gear stick. Some of the gears were quite difficult to pass. I thought I’d have to have it checked when we get back home. Then, on Wednesday evening, as I was going out with Esther, The gears were very hard. We borrowed my mum’s car and I called a garage the next day. Two mechanics came, had a quick look at it and diagnosed a clutch problem. They took the car and said they would try to purge the clutch hydraulic system and see if the problem came from that. That’s what they did and it seems to do the trick. It should take us back to Brittany they said at the garage. But I think we’ll start looking at another car soon, just in case.
Glad to have the car back. Glad it didn’t happen on the motorway on the way back home. Glad that all the mechanics I have met so far have always been helpful and dedicated to their work.
