    Mine:

    Micra K11c 1.0

    Its only got 12,000 odd miles on the clock, but I think I've done in the gears. Maybe just the linkages, but the gear stick rattles. You can hear a metallic clanging.
    Goes into actual gears fine though, except 1st is sometimes slightly hard to get into.
    It started happening after my mum crashed my car into another car, reversing, after not pressing the clutch down. She was trying to get into reverse around 3-4 times before realising, since she drives a manual.

    Got it about a week a go. My first car was a Daewoo 800cc. Was basically a shopping cart on wheels and so crap to drive.

    Love my new car. Insurance is about £2500 a year though. I pay £212 a month on my insurance. So expensive! Only 1.4 too!

    That's the problem with buying a car like a golf, it's more desirable so the insurance costs more

    There doesn't seem much in price to be honest.

    I was paying £173 a month for the worse little car ever, Daewoo 800cc. Was like a snail.

    Somehow I don't think that is road safe or legal.

    Since the cost of repair was more than the value of the car, I decided to write it off. I am currently 'carless'. :mad:

    Sorry, I completely passed the phase 'was' in your post.

    Just get an old banger if you can, for the mean time, just to get you about.
