what issues we all having right now ???

im having a proper nightmare, tyres aint turned up yet cant undo the sump nut, rocker cover gasket is leaking WORSE now

AND NOW MY FUCKING GEARBOX IS WHINING

started this morning, checked the oil level and its low, just added just over a litre but still the slight whine is there,,,,

fuck it the gearbox is toast anyway just need a decent recover company now for when it finally locks up at the ring pmsl

 

Yum needs a wash

 

mine REALLY needs a wash,,,,, ive booked wednesday off and got my garage to leave a ramp free as i need to change the oil in the diffs, fit the tyres, and,,,,, oh yeah change the fucking oil

whos breakdown cover you using helen ??

 

Dave sorted it all out so not sure, think he got the AA european cover.


I have took wedensday off too, well i'm in half day tomorrow then thats me off until next thursday. Tomorrow is hairdresser day then packing and running round like a loon wedensday pmsl

 

That the car is 3 months behind schedule so cancelled the ring trip to stay home and finish it? Is that classed as an issue?

 

you aint far from ian so why not try and get the passenger ride in a PROPER focus with a real engine

 

you'd be daft to go on the 'ring with a known oil leak

 

i know which is why it will be done on wednesday !!!!

is not leaking on the floor btw but on the exhaust heatsheild then burning off,,,, so its just a fire hazzard

 

Just done an oil change on the BM, it has not used a drop in 14k since i last checked it at the ring last year

Rick.

 

show off,,,,,,, im trying to source breakdown cover for when the box diies

 

who can get europe breakdown cover that will be valid for thursday ???

 

car broken

no money

does that count?


trying to get some money together before thursday...

 

im very jealous that you are all going

 

theres a passenger seat going in the reyland focus cossie !!!!

 

you dont want to know my issues

anyone got a spare car?

 

you not sorted it out yet then ???

 

don't bother jim, just forget it and try and properly get out of your money situation.

 

No mate.

been up at Rob's @ SCC today, he and his guys are top chaps.

apart from the fact that the car decided to dump all its water outside Robs office window when i pulled up after limping it there, the plus side is it now ticks over happily and steadily on its own.

but the fooker still wont rev much past 3k or with any more than a mild touch of the throttle

back up there again first thing in the morn, if its not running perfectly by the end of tomorrow then ill be bailing out

 

take the clio if you want and leave it there
bend it you mend it etc

 

slight issue of..

no passport, and not going lol

 

 

Wish i was going

 

ginge join adac if you can sort it before thursday. works here as well,they just send the aa out. plus you can claim back recovery off the ring from them if it all go's tits up.

oh, and the issue is no money so can't go. i am so jealous of you lot.

 

wish i was going, but the fact that the car wont rev past 3k, it judders like fook when ever you touch the brakes, coupled with the fact that I have no money makes it quite unlikelly i will be going

 

Such a good mini holiday is the Ring. next year for me

 

my mate had breakdown with the rac and when his clutch exploded near the ring they were brillant payed for everything like new ferry and two hire cars to get home. they even payed for a taxi from the garage where he left his car to get sorted to the b a b we were staying at. would highly recommend them

 

wish i was going i am soooo jealous of you lot.

Have fun and get some pics up when you get back

 

just joined the RAC, they confirmed they will cover me on the ring on the tourist days but not when its a race track/track day, got them to confirm it on the phone too

so im covered due to them selling me that pollicy !!!
