Bad news… our community-funded responder car is VERY poorly.
The first diagnosis was brutal — £11,000 for a new gearbox. That would have been game over - RIP car.
But… enter First Responder Higgsy, who’s worked some magic and found a garage in Weymouth willing to repair it for around £4,000. Still a hefty hit, but at least it’s a lifeline rather than a write-off.
The repair will take a big chunk out of our coffers. Thanks to your incredible generosity over the years, we do have the funds — but as Tim our Treasurer points out, the bank balance is going to look a bit… windswept.
While the car is off the road, we’ll still be responding — just using our own vehicles to keep the service going.
Thank you, as always, for backing us. Every donation helps keep us on the road (literally). We really couldn’t do this without you.
