Been having all sorts of car problems recently. Finally got the car sorted last week – as suspected the gear linkage was broken so they replaced it. It cost about £120 to get fixed. The actual part was only £40 but add on labour and then VAT. 
This is the first thing thats gone wrong with the actual car so could be worse – 4 and half years and about 30000 miles.
After picking up the car I heard I strange noise underneath and though maybe they forgot to bolt something up! Turned around and didnt see anything. Later on after work and driving home heard noise again and looked in mirror and saw something had dropped from car. It turned out to be a torch the mechanic had obviously left when fixing the car. I kept the torch off course – it was very useful for the weekend in the Lakes!
