sounds like a right nightmare, least you got it sorted in the end though! I would keep the reciept as my TMC battery packed up after only 9 months

The worst thing I have had recently is the starter motor on mine doesn't work once the car gets hot, and there was a big cue on the way to work as there had been a serious car crash. The police turned up and was diverting us off the dual carridge way, I let my foot slip off the clutch stalling it , tried to start it up again but it was doing nothing . So in the middle of all this traffic and stuff I have to pop the bonnet and tap the starter motor to get it going. The first try didn't work , at this point I was begining to sweat a bit as I was getting some proper agro and blocking of one lane of the dual carridge way just before a bridge with no hard shoulder or pull off area So I thought I would give it one more go before calling the RAC before I got linched! So I Pop'ed the bonnet again, tapped it with some proper force this time and thank God it worked nightmare

Funnest thing recently was, while having a play on the way back home with my mate TD Audi Quattro. I got to this bit of dual carridge way before my home kinda squaring up to have a thrash with him down the dual carridge way. I put my foot down, then all of a sudden, it grinds to a halt stinking of petrol. The petrol pipe had poped off! Proper scary putting it back on though, on the side of a dual carridge way (no hard sholder again ) on a blind bend with the bonnet up so I couldn't even see if anything was coming towards me Bodged it on though and limpted home

RSi's, who would have em!
