It's up on the ramps in the garage being sorted now. I got it towed straight there yesterday and just threw the keys at them. Agro, proper fuckin agro.

I swear I have the worst luck when it comes to cars.


I even had it on the rolling road on tues afternoon to sort the idle and mixture to the tune of Ł110.00, guess what........................ still fucking stalling. Cant have anymore time off work to get it down there and they are fully booked til next week.


I reckon I might break something later. Maybe a childs arm

No coz it seemed fine when I brought it out. Then the water pump went. Fixed that, went for a drive and the problem started again.
